WHO would like you to join a 2 week virtual discussion forum designed to provide an opportunity for people to share their ideas, experience and opinions about the type of evidence-based guidance WHO should produce to support the reduction of maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity. We want to make this guidance more accessible and focused on addressing technical and health systems challenges and meeting the information needs of people working in this field.

Your contribution to this discussion will help us to identify priority policy or practice issues in which it would be helpful to have either a policy brief, guideline or other type of resource materials produced.
