Fulfilling the Global Strategy and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will require new evidence-based approaches backed by innovative and sustainable financing mechanisms. The three overarching objectives of the updated Global Strategy are survive, thrive, and transform. With its full implementation\u2014supporting country priorities and plans and building the momentum of Every Woman Every Child\u2014no woman, child, or adolescent should face a greater risk of preventable death because of where they live or who they are.<\/p>\n<p>The previous Global Strategy spurred stakeholders to achieve great things between 2010 and 2015. It galvanized political leadership, attracted billions of dollars in new financial commitments, and created <a href=\"http:\/\/www.everywomaneverychild.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Every Woman Every Child<\/a>. The United Nations Commission on Information and Accountability for Women\u2019s and Children\u2019s Health resulted in a landmark Accountability Framework and an independent Expert Review Group (iERG), and the United Nations Commission on Life-Saving Commodities for Women\u2019s and Children\u2019s Health strengthened the availability and supply of essential interventions. Several global action plans and reports were launched to address and bring attention to neglected areas with support for country implementation. Millions of lives were saved, and progress toward the health Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) was accelerated. Strides were made in areas such as increasing access to contraception and essential interventions; reducing maternal and child mortality and malnutrition; and combating HIV\/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><img class=\"wp-image-1631 size-full alignnone\" src=\"\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/hnn-content\/uploads\/small-ewec2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"570\" height=\"230\" \/><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]However, far too many women, children, and adolescents worldwide still have little or no access to essential, good-quality health services, education, clean air and water, adequate sanitation, and good nutrition.
