World Vision’s current priority areas of health intervention focus on the major causes of morbidity and mortality in children under five and include: nutrition, prevention and treatment of malaria, diarrhoea, pneumonia, and family planning, maternal and neonatal health. WV also addresses special health interventions, including HIV, neglected tropical diseases, and tuberculosis. World Vision works closely with host country health ministries to increase access to basic primary health care services and strengthen health care systems, structures, and personnel. The organization works to identify at-risk locations, including emergencies, preposition resources and personnel in high-risk zones, and build capacity and resilience among communities to help them protect themselves and rebuild. The organization also works to empower communities to conduct community-led advocacy for their rights at local, national and international levels to change unjust policies and practices.<\/p>\r\n<h2>What we do<\/h2>\r\n<p>World Vision is in nearly 100 countries all over the world and across the following regions: North America, Latin America, South America, Africa, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Europe, Australia. <\/p>\r\n","post_title":"World Vision International","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"world-vision-international","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2016-01-21 20:09:53","post_modified_gmt":"2016-01-21 20:09:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/?post_type=partner&p=867","menu_order":0,"post_type":"partner","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"issues":[{"ID":117,"post_author":"7211","post_date":"2015-10-21 15:17:43","post_date_gmt":"2015-10-21 15:17:43","post_content":"<p>[vc_row full_width=\"stretch_row\" css=\".vc_custom_1453403441710{margin-top: -60px !important;padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}\"][vc_column width=\"1\/2\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Within the continuum of care, childbirth care is provided during labor and delivery.
