The Partnership for Maternal, Newborn & Child Health

Board Chair

PMNCH is the world’s largest alliance for women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health hosted by World Health Organisation. It brings together partners from across the sexual, reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health communities, as well as health-influencing sectors. The Partnership provides a platform for organisations to align objectives, strategies and resources, and agree on interventions to improve maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health.

In July 2019, Helen Clark was appointed Board Chair of the organisation. During the ceremony she said: “It is an honour to be selected as the Chair of the PMNCH Board and to follow in the footsteps of previous Board Chairs, Preeti Sudan, Michelle Bachelet and Graça Machel, who have made exceptional efforts to position the organisation. PMNCH has become the key partnership for multi-stakeholder collaboration in the field of health and well-being for women, children and adolescents, fostering excellence in analysis, alignment, advocacy and accountability.”
