World Health Day 2025, celebrated on April 7, 2025, marks the kickoff of a year-long campaign titled "Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures." The initiative is dedicated to ending preventable maternal and newborn deaths while emphasizing the long-term health and well-being of women. WHO, alongside its partners, is set to provide critical information and support for healthy pregnancies, safe births, and effective postnatal care.
In recent communications, WHO has highlighted that nearly 300,000 women die annually due to pregnancy or childbirth complications, with over 2 million newborns dying within their first month, and around 2 million stillborn. The campaign calls on governments and the global health community to invest in high-impact interventions and advocate for policies that prioritize compassionate maternal and newborn care. The renewed focus on the rights of women and comprehensive health support reinforces the goal of ensuring healthier futures for families worldwide.
