GPPI and the Global Health
Strategies (GHS) organised an agenda focused meeting of the core members of ‘The Political
Leaders’ Forum on Child Survival’ on March 9, 2015
The Forum has served as a crucial
platform to raise the issues surrounding child survival. It has so far
conducted over 11 meetings with the participation of almost 40 Members of
Parliament representing nearly all states of the country.
The meeting was organised to
discuss the future action plan and agenda for the effective and successful
functioning of the Forum in the future as part of a collaborative series of
roundtables organized by both GPPI-CPR and GHS aimed to educate and equip
political leaders for comprehensive child survival interventions for diseases
that kill a large percentage of our children in the country; create awareness
and utilise platforms to raise the profile of child survival.
The meeting was attended by six
multi-party Members of Parliament.
