AlignMNH is a global initiative founded in 2020 to accelerate progress in improving maternal and newborn health (MNH) outcomes and prevent stillbirths around the globe.

AlignMNH is guided by an International Steering Committee of 20 global thought leaders. Members have direct, practical, and in-depth country experience, and represent countries and communities from around the world. This committee provides overall strategic management and oversight to the International Maternal Newborn Health Conference (IMNHC) 2026, as well as to the overall initiative.
