GPO Box: 7830 Dear Editor, Less than a month after launching of sustainable development goals (SDG) by UN general assembly (1), and the Global strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ health, a landmark conference was hosted in Mexico City from October 18-21 2015 (2). The conference was hosted by Mexico’s secretariat of health and convened by USAID’s flagship Maternal and Child Survival Program, Maternal Health Task Force at Harvard School of Public Health and Save the Children’s Saving Newborn Lives. The conference provided a unique opportunity to reflect on unfinished agenda of millennium development goals (MDG) and prioritize tasks for the post-MDG period. As Temmerman and colleagues have underlined the need to identify transformative actions to create an environment where women and children can survive and thrive (3), the conference saw more than 1000 delegates and public health experts from 75 countries sharing information, spurring ideas for solutions, designing strategies and networking to meet targets outlined in SDGs and the global strategy. The conference was organized around the themes of quality of care, equity and integration of services (4). The plenary sessions, skill demonstrations and discussions were grouped into 6 major tracks: “innovating to accelerate impact at scale, measuring for evaluation and accountability, bridging equity divides, generating new evidence to fill critical knowledge gaps, strengthening demand for health care and increasing health systems’ capacity to respond to population needs (4).” This paper brings in my experience as a participant of Global Maternal Newborn Health Conference, 2015 which dealt with unfinished MDG agenda on maternal and newborn health and way forward, with particular reference to lowand middle-income countries.
