Who is best equipped to carry these out? How might the First Ladies contribute? Attendees: All summit guests African First Ladies Health Summit Program Monday, April 20 2:40 – 3:30 pm Maternal Health: Development Considerations panel discussion Host: David and Lucile Packard Foundation location: Musimbi Kanyoro, Director for the Population and Reproductive Health Program, Magnin The David and Lucile Packard Foundation Sahlu Haile, Regional Advisor for Sub-Saharan Africa, The David and Lucile Packard Foundation Ambassador Eunice Brookman-Amissah, former Minister of Health of Ghana; Vice President, Ipas Africa Alliance H.E. Chantal Compaoré, First Lady of Burkina Faso Moderator: Doyin Oluwole, MD, FRCP, Project Director, Africa’s Health in 2010 This panel reviews family planning as a cost effective intervention for maternal health, child and infant health, economic empowerment of women and communities, and national development. Studies show a third of maternal mortality in developing countries can be avoided through delaying the birth of the first child and spacing of subsequent pregnancies. In addition, women who avoid unwanted pregnancies are economically better off which heavily impacts the well being of the family and the community. Delaying marriage and/or delaying the first pregnancy enables young girls to remain in school which in turn improves their capacity to make informed choices on when to have children. At the larger level, family planning contributes to poverty reduction through healthy mothers and healthy families.
