Accelerating Maternal-Child Survival Through Interprofessional Collaboration
Joint Statement of Intent: COINN, FIGO, ICM, ICN & IPA
In June 2026, the Council of International Neonatal Nurses (COINN) joined FIGO, ICM, ICN, and IPA in Lisbon, Portugal, to launch a landmark Joint Statement of Intent focused on accelerating maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent survival through interprofessional collaboration.
This partnership brings together the collective voice of nursing, midwifery, obstetrics and gynaecology, neonatal nursing, and paediatrics to advocate for stronger health systems, improved workforce investment, evidence-based solutions, coordinated advocacy, and enhanced collaboration across professions.
The statement marks the beginning of a global commitment to reducing preventable maternal and newborn deaths and improving health outcomes for women, newborns, children, and adolescents worldwide.

About COINN
The Council of International Neonatal Nurses, Inc or COINN is an exciting organization that represents nurses who specialize in the care of newborn infants and their families or have a special interest in this area of nursing. COINN (Council of International Neonatal Nurses, Inc), pronounced just like the money-currency or a coin – acts much like money as a method of exchange of information among countries. COINN (Council of International Neonatal Nurses, Inc) is part of the growing international community of nurses that represents a resource for nurses that want to form a national or local organization, create guidelines for care or professional standards or just want advice on neonatal nursing issues.
Our Vision
