Share September 23, 2010 8:40 a.m. EST Topics: politics, preventative medicine, health, international organization, United States AHN News Staff New York, United States (AHN) - In an attempt to improve health of women and children across the world, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Wednesday secured $40 billion from different national governments, private groups and philanthropists. Backed by these financial pledges, the UN summit on eliminating poverty, which was initially hit by the international financial crisis, ended on a promising note in New York. "We know what works to save women’s and children’s lives, and we know that women and children are critical to all of the Millennium Development Goals," Ban said in a statement. "Today we are witnessing the kind of leadership we have long needed," he added. In his speech before the end of the summit, Ban said that this Global Strategy for Women's and Children's Health should save 16 million lives in next five years. He pointed out that infant mortality, deaths of children below five years and women’s death during pregnancy were the few slowest moving goals, which were set more than a decade ago. Nearly 140 nations, including Australia, Britain, China, France, Germany, Afghanistan, India, Japan, Russia and the U.S. participated in the summit and vowed to contribute to the drive. Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates and Mexican tycoon Carlos Slim were also among the contributors. Amnesty International and multinational companies like Pfizer and LG Electronics also pledged contributions. "Never have so many come together to save the lives of women and children," said Norway's Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg. Norway is one of the top aid donors of the world.
