The Commission on Information and Accountability for Women's and Children's Health presented an advance copy of its final report, Keeping Promises, Measuring Results. The report recommends a ten-point accountability framework to increase the likelihood that the US$ 40 billion pledges made towards the Global Strategy for Women's and Children's Health are honoured and spent in the most effective way to save lives. At the briefing, Norway pledged US$ 9.5 million to back the recommendations in developing countries, but Dr Margaret Chan, WHO Director-General, stressed that "domestic investment is the most important thing in development". The Commission was established by WHO at the request of the 蘑菇视频SG who will now receive the report since the work across a high-level group of global leaders and health experts has come to an end.

Obstetric fistula is a devastating injury of childbearing that leaves women with agonising pain, chronic incontinence and - in most cases - a stillborn baby. The global Campaign to End Fistula currently covers more than 35 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and the Arab region. The goal is to make fistula as rare in developing countries as it is in the industrialized world. 蘑菇视频FPA, 2006
