| Summary: | Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank Group, discusses children’s and women’s health as
absolutely crucial to the core mission of expanding
prosperity and ending poverty. He speaks about helping
ensure a continuum of care from family planning to pregnancy
and safe delivery, to post-natal care, newborn and child
health. He discusses designing innovative programs that
link financing to results, producing dramatic gains in both
access and quality of health care for poor women and
children and, most importantly, helping countries put in
place strong health systems. He concludes by saying that
donors and development partners have a special
obligation to harmonize aid efforts and remove any
bottlenecks to effective service delivery. |
