The United States government has signed a one-year agreement worth $25 million with UNICEF to support the supply of essential maternal, newborn and child health products, alongside selected nutrition supplies, to at least 15 low-income countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the agreement, UNICEF will coordinate procurement of supplies intended to help maintain access to essential healthcare products in countries facing challenges in securing reliable medical supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement includes countries such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti and Mali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arrangement follows concerns about disruptions to international health assistance and the availability of essential medicines after changes to US foreign-aid programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The supplies are intended to support maternal and child healthcare services, particularly in settings where health systems face financial, logistical or humanitarian pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement represents a targeted effort to maintain essential supplies while broader arrangements for international health assistance continue to evolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
