Prince Rainier III of Monaco Maternity Clinic Reaches Milestone 1000 Births
The FPCD has played a role reducing maternal and infant mortality through the Prince Rainier III of Monaco Maternity Clinic which has reached a milestone of 1000 successful births.
According to UNICEF, a woman dies giving birth every minute, as well as seven newborns. Per year, this equals more than one half million women and 3.7 million babies. This is why the health related Millennium Development Goals are an absolute priority to be achieved by 2015. There is much work to be done.
The Maternity Clinic was inaugurated on April 19, 2008 by Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao of Timor-Leste and H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco in an effort to improve access to basic health care for mothers and infants.
The FPCD commends the Leading by Example -Protecting the most vulnerable during the economic crisis Report on Global Campaign for the Health Millennium Development Goals on behalf of the Network of Global Leaders for focusing on the health of mothers and children.
The Foundation for Post Conflict Development has concretely achieved the Millennium Development Goals through health in Timor-Leste. Access to health facilities, addressing infant and maternal mortality and creating a global partnership for development have met with success through 1000 births.

More successes will be achieved through the Princess Grace of Monaco Maternity Clinic to be built in 2010 in Oecussi, Timor-Leste, as well as through the Ministry of Health's comprehensive plan to replicate the Prince Rainier III Maternity Clinic model throughout the country.
Therefore the FPCD commends the work of the Network of Global Leaders and the Task Force for Innovative Financing Mechanisms for focusing on Maternal and Infant Health.
The below chart is taken from report entitled: The Leading by Example- Protecting the most vulnerable during the economc crisis; The Global Campaign for the Health Millennium Development Goals 2009.
The FPCD is doing its share to prevent maternal and newborn deaths by 2015 thanks to the support of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco and the Monaco Red Cross.
The below factsheet provided by the International Health Partnership Task Force provides compelling information on why we should all lead by example to protect the most vulnerable not only during the present economic crisis, but every day.
