Welcome to the 7th annual PMNCH high-level dialogue, Life in Balance, held on the eve of the 78th World Health Assembly. Co-hosts: PMNCH, Government of South Africa Supported by: PATH, The Global Financing Facility, African Union, Gates Foundation, World Health Organization, UNFPA, UNICEF, AlignMNH, EWENE, Africa CDC, Global Leaders Network, Child Survival Action initiative Global efforts over the past two decades have driven significant progress in improving the health and well-being of women, children, and adolescents. The launch of the Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health (2016–2030) under the Every Woman Every Child movement aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and helped unify governments, civil society, and development partners around a shared vision. However, recent global crises — including the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, conflicts, and economic instability — have posed serious setbacks. Further, shifts in development financing, multilateralism, and an active anti-rights movement further threaten gains and risk reversing progress towards the achievement of the SDGs. The need to assess progress, address persistent inequities, and accelerate action has never been more urgent. As we approach the five-year mark to the 2030 deadline, this high-level dialogue aims to take stock of the achievements and gaps in health outcomes for women, children, and adolescents, and chart a renewed path forward with bold ideas, innovative partnerships, and transformative solutions. Objectives 1. Present up-to-date evidence and data on progress and gaps in women’s, children’s, and adolescents’ health. 2. Provide a platform for Ministers of Health and Global Development other senior leaders to share experiences, challenges, and lessons learned. 3. Identify priority areas for investment and policy action to accelerate progress towards 2030 targets. 4. Foster alignment and commitment across countries and partners to drive multisectoral approaches for health and well-being. 5. Highlight innovations and best practices that have delivered results at scale and could be replicated or adapted.
