In addition to the scientific program, the International Maternal Newborn Health Conference (IMNHC) 2023 will feature concurrent thematic sessions. These sessions will include several different formats such as opportunities to announce launches, initiatives, and more; formats that create space to reflect on challenges and discuss forward looking solutions; and community-driven knowledge cafes intended to maximize participant engagement and interactivity.
