This 2011 updated edition now features a “Voices of Industry” section, where corporate leaders and their MNH partners share thoughtful ideas and approaches that industry can apply towards creating impactful change in MNH in the Asia Pacific and beyond.
Read this Business Case report, part of the NBR Center for Health and Aging’s Impact & Innovation Series, to learn about key ways the private sector can contribute to the field of MNH, including:
- How can industry contribute to implementing or promoting improvements in MNH outcomes in developing countries in a sustainable yet still business-minded way?
- How can businesses contribute to ensuring that innovations, products, and modern technologies for MNH, and health more broadly, reach those most in need?
- How can companies whose core business is not overtly focused on mothers and babies still engage and contribute to improving MNH—beyond simply writing a check?
