Key Points

• This bill aims to save lives by providing prenatal vitamins and medical care to mothers and children in developing countries. It focuses on using low-cost tools like vitamins that cost only 4 dollars per pregnancy.
• The plan sets a goal to reduce preventable deaths for mothers and children in at least 10 priority countries by the year 2030. It also aims to make sure 70 percent of people in those areas get the medical help they need.
• Congress would provide up to 150 million dollars every year for five years to pay for these programs. The money will go toward vaccines, nutrition, and training for birth workers.
