In February 2019, co-convened by Save the Children, UNICEF, WHO, UNHCR, and HRH Princess Sarah Zeid, experts and key stakeholders from multiple sectors within the humanitarian and development fields met in Geneva, Switzerland to catalyze a global agenda for improving newborn health in humanitarian settings. This resulting declaration is a call for the dignity, health, and wellbeing of every woman, every child, and every newborn – in humanitarian and fragile settings – to be urgently upheld and prioritized.
