To commemorate its 10th anniversary, the Maternal Health Task Force (MHTF) is seeking nominations for the Maternal Health Visionary Awards now through 15 July 2018 at 11:59PM ET.
Who do you consider a maternal health visionary? We are seeking nominations for the Maternal Health Visionary Awards—individuals who have made an impact, who push for innovation, who inspire others, who demonstrate sound leadership and who have a powerful vision for the future of maternal health. Nominators may only submit one nominee.
