? Celebrating a Decade of Progress ? Last week, we met with global health leaders and politicians in Oslo to celebrate 10 years of collaboration between the Norad - Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation and The Global Financing Facility (GFF) towards advancing maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health. State Secretary Stine Renate H?heim reaffirmed Norway’s unwavering commitment to investing in global health and the vital role of collaboration between governments and multilateral organizations. Success Story: Tanzania?? The Safer Births Bundle of Care (SBBC) program in Tanzania was showcased as a success story, demonstrating a dramatic reduction in newborn and maternal mortality. Public health pioneer Tore Godal said: “Progress has been slow in relation to maternal and newborn health since 2020. It’s stagnated and we haven’t had a clear answer on how to attack this. Now what GFF and Laerdal are doing together… for the first time, we see a dramatic breakthrough in this area. This is revolutionary. The key appears to be the quality of services and a more comprehensive approach to the delivery of services. For me, after 55 years, this is the most exciting moment in global health and betterment of mankind.” Investment in Health Norad Director General B?rd Vegar Solhjell praised the SBBC project for its impressive, documented impact, saying: "We are concerned that aid money should go to things that have a documented effect. What the (SBBC) project has achieved here is enormously impressive.” Luc Laviolette, Head of Secretariat for the GFF, also expressed enthusiasm for scaling the program, noting Norway's significant contributions as not only a donor, but also an important thought partner. Associate Director for Health at UNICEF, Fouzia Shafique, called for stronger partnerships and scalable innovations, highlighting the success in Tanzania as a model for how to integrate product, program, and service innovations. GFF Head of Staff, Diwa Samad, maintained the importance of sexual and reproductive health and rights as a priority and the expansion of GFF support to bring innovations to scale to end preventable maternal and child deaths by 2030. There’s much work to be done, but we were inspired and energized by the spirit of collaboration and willingness to work towards a world where all births are safe. #saferbirths #gff #NORAD #helpingsavelives #globalhealth
