India's Intensified Mission Indradhanush (IMI), which aims to ensure full immunisation of children up to two years of age and pregnant women, will be among the 12 success stories from around the world to be highlighted at a prestigious global meet on infant and maternal health.

The meet -- Partners' Forum -- will be held in New Delhi, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurating the two-day event on December 12. It will be attended by several heads of state and ministers.

The Partners' Forum aims to drum up momentum and galvanise action to improve the health and well-being of women, children and adolescents.

Union Health Minister J P Nadda said, "India's success story on Mission Indradhanush along with 11 success stories of other countries will be showcased during the conference. These 12 stories, including Mission Indradhanush, will also be featured in the Partners' Forum special issue of the British Medical Journal next month."
