FIGO and IJGO have released a new publication titled “Strengthening Global Health Systems: FIGO’s Strategic View on Reducing Maternal and Newborn Mortality Worldwide.” This paper, written by FIGO’s Committee on Health Systems Strengthening and Respectful Care, highlights the importance of strengthening health systems to achieve universal healthcare coverage and reduce maternal and newborn mortality rates globally.

The organization is committed to improving maternal and perinatal outcomes, reducing healthcare disparities, and advancing research, education, advocacy, and capacity-building in obstetrics and gynecology.
