The International MotherBaby Childbirth Initiative (IMBCI) promotes the health and wellbeing of all women and babies during pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding.

The purpose of the IMBCI 10 Steps is to improve care throughout the birth and perinatal continuum in order to save lives, prevent illness and harm from the overuse of unnecessary obstetric technological interventions, and promote health for mothers and babies around the world.
