The themes for the Summit were developed in consultation with key Canadian stakeholders active in global health along with international partners. The Government has been working closely with the Canadian Network for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health, a network of Canadian NGOs, academic institutions and health professional associations working together to improve the lives of women and children in the world's poorest countries (www.can-mnch.ca). The Network has been putting its expertise to work on these issues in more than a thousand regions around the world.

Prime Minister Harper announced details on the Summit at a roundtable with members of the Network. The purpose of the roundtable was to discuss the important role played by Canadians in delivering results for women and children in developing countries. The Prime Minister and roundtable participants also discussed the importance of the upcoming Saving Every Woman, Every Child Summit, as an important and dynamic means towards reaffirming Canada's leadership in reigniting global efforts and building new momentum on improving women's and children's health, and demonstrating that continued commitment to saving the world's most vulnerable remains Canada's top development priority.
