The Call to Action Summit 2015 held on 27-28 August 2015 in New Delhi was co-hosted by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India and the Health Ministry of Ethiopia, in partnership with Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Tata Trusts, UNICEF, USAID, and WHO.

The Summit was a platform for the Health Ministers of 24 nations, Health Ministers from states of India, academic experts, health practitioners and global leaders from diverse sectors - corporate, civil society and media to deliberate on the importance of Systems, Partnerships, Innovations, Convergence, and Evidence in ending all preventable maternal and child deaths. The Summit was also a prelude to the United Nations Summit for the adoption of post-2015 development agenda that will be held as a high level plenary meeting of the UN General Assembly in September 2015.

A major highlight of the Summit was the Ministerial Conclave where Ministers of Health from 24 participating nations reflected on initiatives that their countries had been taking for child survival. Ministers shared lessons learned in the process and decided new ways to move forward to protect and promote every child’s fundamental right to life. A key outcome of the 2015 Summit was for Health Ministers and heads of country delegations from 22 countries to adopt the Delhi Declaration on 'ending preventable maternal and child deaths', which was developed during the summit.
