Every Newborn: an action plan to end preventable deaths
24 June 2014
| Guidance (normative)

Overview
The Every Newborn action plan is based on the latest epidemiology, evidence and global and country learning,
and supports the United Nations Secretary-General’s Every Woman Every Child movement. The preparation was
guided by the advice of experts and partners, led by WHO and UNICEF, and by the outcome of several multistakeholder consultations and a web-based consultation with more than 300 comments.
Discussed at the 67th
World Health Assembly, Member States endorsed the document and made firm commitments to put in practice
recommended actions. The Director General has been requested to monitor progress towards the achievement of
the global goal and targets and report periodically to the Health Assembly until 2030.
