Monthly Theme Messages (Commodities)

• The right health products can save millions of lives, but only when access is ensured for all. In 2012, the UN Commission on Life-Saving Commodities for Women and Children endorsed 13 priority MNH commodities that could prevent up to 6 million deaths in five years4, yet uptake – and the implementation of additional WHO-recommended products since then – remains variable across countries.
• Quality matters as much as availability. Ensuring quality across key components of the product pathway – such as manufacturing, regulation, and post-market surveillance – is essential, alongside other drivers that support consistent and reliable access.
• Procurement and supply chain breakdowns remain urgent challenges. Persistent stock-outs compromise availability of lifesaving MNH products and lead to high out-of-pocket costs for mothers and families.
• Defragmentation is needed to drive progress. A shared vision and strong collaboration across key entities – such as the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Finance, and procurement agencies – are essential to move from isolated actions to coordinated results.
• Equity must guide action. Breaking down the barriers so lifesaving MNH products reach every woman and every newborn, everywhere.

Social Media Messages

1. The right #MNHCommodities can save millions of lives — but only when access is ensured for all. Since 2012, priority commodities have been identified, yet uptake of these and newer WHO-recommended products remains uneven.
2. Availability isn’t enough. Quality across manufacturing, regulation, and post-market surveillance is essential to ensure lifesaving #MNHcommodities are safe, effective, and consistently accessible.
3. Life-saving commodities only work when backed by strong systems: trained providers, reliable supply chains, procurement and cold-chain capacity, and accountability. Strong health systems turn supplies into survival. #MNHCommodities
4. Stock-outs, cost barriers, and weak supply chains continue to limit the availability of essential #MNHcommodities in many settings. These system gaps mean that too many women and newborns still do not receive the care they need. Equitable access must be a priority.
5. Real progress on #MNHcommodities requires defragmentation. A shared vision — backed by strong collaboration across ministries of health and finance, procurement agencies, and partners — is key to moving from isolated efforts to coordinated, sustainable results.
6. Equity must guide all efforts to improve access to #MNHcommodities. Breaking down the barriers to essential products ensures that every woman and every newborn can benefit from lifesaving care.
