In an effort to cut maternal and child deaths, a global coalition of governments and organisations will launch an advocacy drive today entitled Deliver Now for Women and Children.

The launch will take place at public rallies in New York. Women leaders of the United Nations will also hold a special discussion entitled 'Saving 77 Million by 2015: advancing the health of women and children'.

The campaign is part of a broader Global Campaign for the Health Millennium Development Goals, which is being announced today by national leaders at the Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting in New York.
