two third between 1990 and 2015 and reducing by three quarters the maternal mortality ratio. However,
we are not yet there and this is the reason we need to scale up our support for our mothers and children.
Having not achieved the set goals and targets does not mean that we give up. We have to persist until
we get to Zero maternal and child deaths.
Before I conclude, let me say that I am overwhelmed by the amount of support from Kenyans, private
sector and our International friends for the campaign. I take this opportunity to thank all those who
have been supporting us as we all look towards a healthier Kenya.
Through the initiative, we have so far been able to provide 18 mobile clinics to counties with the
highest maternal, child mortality and HIV burden in the country.
I urge all of us to unite in this cause. One way you can contribute directly as an individual in is this
effort is to join us in the 8th March 2nd Edition of the First Ladys Half Marathon.
I thank you all.
