Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps the Government is taking to end the preventable deaths of mothers, children and newborns by 2030.

The UK Government remains committed to supporting maternal and child health interventions as part of our manifesto commitment to end the preventable deaths of mothers, newborns, and children by 2030.

Globally, we are working with agencies such as the World Health Organisation, Gavi the Vaccine Alliance, and the Global Financing Facility for Women, Children, and Adolescents to support governments in strengthening health systems in affected countries, providing technical assistance, improving quality of care, and immunising children.
