The Maternal and Newborn Health Thematic Fund: 2022 Annual Report
Catalyzing Action Amidst Global Challenges
In 2022, the Maternal and Newborn Health Thematic Fund (MHTF) continued to provide tailored and catalytic support with the overall goal of ensuring that every woman, adolescent girl and newborn has equitable and accountable access to quality sexual, reproductive, maternal and newborn health and rights. It did so by strengthening health systems in 32 countries with high maternal morbidity and mortality spanning five regions: the Arab States, Asia and the Pacific, East and Southern Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and West and Central Africa. Furthermore, the sixth UNFPA region, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, received catalytic resources for midwifery needs assessments. Through the MHTF, UNFPA remains committed to delivering integrated sexual, reproductive, maternal and newborn health services, aiming to achieve its three transformative results by 2030.
