SNL Legacy e-Talks – Healthy Newborn Network

Saving Newborn Lives (SNL) 20th anniversary will be marked with a series of e-Talks to celebrate global accomplishments and cover key technical, programmatic, advocacy and policy topics, along with discussions on the continued importance of newborn and perinatal health in times of crisis.

Partners, collaborators, researchers, government officials and implementers, as well as advocates and civil society representatives, including parent organizations, will have a unique chance to interact with peers in this critical network, strengthening the knowledge base to realize a common vision for newborn and perinatal health and quality of care in the next decade.
