FRIDAY 9 NOVEMBER –THEMATIC SESSIONS OBJECTIVES  To translate the political intent expressed in outcome document presented on Day 1 into operational terms for enhanced regional cooperation and collective action in Asia and the Pacific.

MORNING SESSION 09:00-09:30 – Opening Plenary: Taking stock and introduction to parallel sessions Chair: Kul Gautam, Nepal Speakers • Patricia Moser, Lead Health Specialist, ADB • Ian Pett, Chief, Health Systems and Strategic Planning Programmes, UNICEF • Dr Liz Mason, Director, Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health, WHO • Rajendra Gutpa, President, Disease Management Association of India 09:30-12:30 – Parallel Sessions: From Outcome Document to Operational Strategies  Parallel Session 1: Investment Co-chair: Patricia Moser, Lead Health Specialist, Asian Development Bank Co-chair: Ian Anderson, Australia Sufficient, efficient and effective investments in RMNCH are needed to ensure continued progress in meeting health needs of women and families and in meeting the Millennium Development Goals. This will depend on both the level and efficient use of resources available. This session will focus on key areas of increasing available financial resources for health and increasing the health outcomes gained for the investment (value for money). At the end of the session, participants will provide feedback on key areas for attention in investing in RMNCH for the period 2013 - 2015.

Speakers • Dr. Eduardo P. Banzon, President and CEO, Philippine National Health Insurance Corporation • Dr. R.R.M Siyambalogoda, Deputy Director, General Public Health Services, Ministry of Health, Sri Lanka • Dr. Ravi Rannan-Eliya, Director, Institute of Health Policy, Sri Lanka • Dr. Henk Bekedam, Director, Division of Health Sector Development, WHO WPRO • Dr. Eliana Jimenez-Soto, Senior Research Fellow, University of Queensland, Australia  Parallel Session 2: Implementation Co-chair: Anurdha Gupta, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, India Co-chair: Ian Pett, Chief, Health Systems and Strategic Planning Programmes, UNICEF Good policy, strategy, resource mobilisation and investment will not improve health outcomes unless implementation is efficient and effective. Implementation requires appropriate service delivery models, health systems to support and sustain them, optimizing coverage levels and service quality, ensuring supply of essential health commodities, removing financial and other barriers to access, and motivating individuals, families and communities to use the services the health system provides. Implementation depends above all on effective planning and management capacity, which must be strengthened at national and sub-national levels.

It also requires inter-sectoral action to address wider determinants of health outcomes. This session will

consider critical factors and regional experience in achieving ‘more, better, faster’ in reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health in Asia and the Pacific.

This interactive session will be structured around four main themes: 1. Service delivery models that address the current, and preventable, burden of RMNCH-related mortality and morbidity 2. Systems support for efficient and effective service delivery, including research and innovation 3. Addressing inequities and achieving universal health access to quality healthcare 4. Multi-stakeholder action to address the determinants of women’s and children’s health.  Parallel Session 3: Accountability Co-chair: H.E. Lyonpo Zangley Dukpa, Minister of Health, Royal Government of Bhutan Co-chair: Dr. Liz Mason, Director, Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health, WHO Accountability for results and resources is critical to transparency and good governance as well as for the effective implementation and oversight of commitments and investment in women’s and children’s health. This session will review efforts to enhance accountability for women’s and children’s health in countries in Asia and the Pacific. It will also suggest ways in which accountability can be further strengthened, considering the recommendations made by the Commission on Information and Accountability and the independent Expert Review Group in its first annual report to the UN Secretary-General, and existing human rights frameworks.

Drawing on two-page summaries prepared for the meeting, topics discussed will include tracking results and resources, oversight mechanisms, country accountability frameworks, and human rights.

Speakers • TBC • TBC • TBC • TBC  Parallel Session 4: Innovation Chair: Rajendra Gupta, Disease Management Association of India The potential for technology in health has been widely acknowledged, but there is also a realization that there are several constraints in realizing this potential – fragmentation of efforts, lack of funding, problems in scaling up, etc. This panel will ask key questions about how we can coordinate better in relation to mHealth and use of ICT, and improve the coherence of our engagement with the private sector, countries, and with other stakeholders. Reflecting on a global agenda for mHealth and ICT as we move towards 2015, what should be our priorities? How can encourage learning from successful examples of the use of mHealth and ICT, and start leveraging these technologies to accelerate progress towards MDGs 4 & 5?

Speakers • Dr. Alain Labrique, Assistant Professor, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health • Dr. Garrett Mehl, Scientist, Department of Reproductive Health and Research, WHO • Dr. Patricia Mechael, Executive Director, mHealth Alliance • Dr. Kaosar Afsana, Director of Health, BRAC

WED. 7 NOVEMBER: BACKGROUND BRIEFINGS This half-day background briefing program will update participants on key topics and encourage background discussion to prepare participation in the two-day meeting to follow.

14:00-14:30: Mapping the RMNCH landscape in Asia and the Pacific Presenter: Ian Pett, Chief, Health Systems and Strategic Planning Programmes, UNICEF What is the latest data telling us about RMNCH in Asia and Pacific? A presentation based on the work of Countdown to 2015, the Inter-Agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (IGME), and the Child Health Epidemiology Reference Group (CHERG).

14:30-15:00: Newborn health: a critical challenge for Asia and the Pacific Presenter: Dr. Ishtiaq Mannan, Save the Children Bangladesh Most countries have made some progress in reducing infection-related newborn deaths through innovative community-based approaches and increasing skilled birth attendance in the region. Greater challenges are ahead to prevent and manage preterm birth complications and newborn asphyxia; this calls for more effective programming of evidence-based interventions, increasing early postnatal care for all newborns, strengthening health systems for sick newborn care, and improving widespread disparities in utilization of newborn health care.
