Every day, over 700 women die from pregnancy and childbirth complications - 90% of these deaths occur in low-income countries - and over 13,000 children under 5 die daily. These deaths are not inevitable. Most are preventable with the right medicine and care. There are disastrous consequences in child mortality, loss of economic opportunities and spiralling cycles of poverty in families and communities when women die giving birth. When a mother survives, her child and the whole community thrive.

IHP addresses medicine shortages caused by broken supply chains by responsibly sourcing and delivering high-quality, long-dated medicines for humanitarian response and sustainable healthcare. We connect the resources, expertise and products of healthcare companies with the reach, insight and local presence of trusted aid organisations. Through this, essential treatments, like those used to prevent and treat leading causes of maternal and child mortality, reach vulnerable communities worldwide.
