The Federal Government of Nigeria has secured financial and in-kind commitments estimated at over $65 million from seven private sector and philanthropic organizations to support efforts in reducing preventable maternal and newborn deaths in the country. These commitments, submitted through Letters of Intent under the Maternal and Neonatal Mortality Reduction Innovation Initiative Private Sector Compact, are expected to address critical healthcare delivery gaps in 172 local government areas with the highest burden of maternal and newborn deaths.
The initiative aims to align private sector investments, technical expertise, products, and supply chains with government-identified maternal and newborn health priorities under the Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative and its Sector-Wide Approach.
