Join us for the next Real Talk conversation where we tackle one of the most pressing challenges in global maternal and newborn health: “Innovations like A.I. are revolutionizing healthcare, but who should pay for them?”

While breakthrough technologies promise to transform how we save mothers’ and babies’ lives, the harsh reality is that most innovations fail to scale where they’re needed most. In low and middle-income countries, limited resources collide with the high costs of new technologies, creating an innovation graveyard of pilots that never reach the communities they’re designed to serve.

This Real Talk brings together diverse perspectives from innovators, donors, investors, and government representatives who will move beyond the hype to address the uncomfortable questions:

• Who bears responsibility for funding innovation?
• How do we break the cycle of dependency on traditional donors
• What new financing models could actually work?

Join us for an honest, solutions-focused dialogue about forging collaborative partnerships and dynamic approaches to ensure life-saving innovations reach every mother and newborn.
