The Women Deliver conference held in London from the 18th-20th October brought together almost 2,000 participants from 109 countries and 70 cabinet ministers to raise awareness of maternal health and rights.
At the conference the UK Department for International Development (DFID) announced a grant of more than $200 million to UNFPA to advance women’s reproductive health worldwide and the Japanese government committed to putting global health at the Group of Eight summit meeting in Japan next year.
