Description
Summary:Kennedy et al. present a call to action for research to improve quality of care for every woman, every child. They aim to improve and expand the knowledge base to support the United Nations and World Health Organization 'survive, thrive, and transform" agenda (UN/WHO. Survive 2016). The promotion of sustainable, context-specific, high-quality care holds potential for optimal physical, psychological, and social well-being for women, newborn infants, and families in both the short and longer term. They believe this call to action for investment in the three research priorities identified has the potential to achieve these benefits and to realize the ambitions of Sustainable Development Goal Three of good health and well-being for all (UNDP 2017).
