answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2020 answer text <p>The UK is a leading player in global health and as announced in <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-will-step-up-efforts-to-end-preventable-deaths-of-mothers-new-born-babies-and-children-in-the-developing-world-by-2030" target="_blank">October 2019</a> has made it a priority to step up efforts to end preventable deaths of mothers, newborn babies and children in the developing world by 2030. This is in line with our commitment to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.</p><p>The UK is proud of this ambitious commitment and will bring together a range of investments in health (such as health research, global health initiatives and programmes delivered in specific countries) behind a common goal, working with others to end preventable deaths of mothers, new-born babies and children.</p><p>For example; as hosts of the Gavi Replenishment Conference this year, the UK government are committed to help secure the $7.4 billion that Gavi needs to deliver its life-saving work in the next five years. This funding will allow Gavi to vaccinate 300 million more children and save 7-8 million lives from preventable deaths by 2025. We will be publishing a paper in due course setting out our aims and objectives for reaching this goal by 2030.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 11/02/2020 17:37:36 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
