The World Health Organization (WHO) has officially announced the theme of World Health Day 2025, healthy beginnings and hopeful futures.
World Health Day is marked worldwide on April 7th, an anniversary founded in 1948. Every year, we bring attention to certain health topics that people around the world are concerned about.
“The focus of this campaign comes at a critical moment, aiming to help the country regain lost progress, introducing new research and evidence that will improve women and babies’ health worldwide.” and maternal health and aging during newborns, children, children, and children, and adolescents. “A rollback to humanitarian assistance is an opportunity to enhance global health support and collaboration to bring hope to those in urgent need for life-saving care, putting millions of important lifelines at risk. It will also be.”
Help all women and babies survive and thrive
The latest estimates show that nearly 300,000 women die from pregnancy or childbirth each year. Over 2 million babies have died in the first month of their lives, and about 2 million have stillborns. This is about one preventable death every seven seconds, a loss that brings in enormous grief and heartache to millions of families around the world.
Maternal and neonatal deaths occur in all regions, but the majority are in the poorest countries or countries facing conflict and other crises. Pregnant women and babies (who need regular access to medical services) are serious when the facility is attacked, access routes denied, or supply is destroyed when supplies are destroyed. They often face life-threatening risks.
Based on current trends, four of the five countries are off track to achieve the United Nations global goals to improve maternal survival by 2030. A third fails to achieve their goals to reduce neonatal deaths. Current funding constraints include stagnating many programs providing critical health services, along with important medical research focusing on pregnant and breastfeeding women and children, making progress even more dangerous may be exposed to.
This year’s campaign, running through 2026, will encourage governments, donors and health communities to invest in proven and shocking interventions as part of their efforts to improve the overall quality of care. These include pregnancy-related services to detect complications and life-saving emergency obstetrics. Note that this occurs during or immediately after the outbreak, as well as special care for small and preterm babies. Complications associated with premature babies are currently the leading cause of death in children under the age of 5 worldwide.
It also highlights the evolving need for healthcare systems to address many underlying health issues affecting maternal and neonatal health. These include not only direct obstetric complications, but also increased burden of mental health, malnutrition (including malnutrition and malnutrition), and non-communicable diseases.
Listen to women and support their families
Moves beyond actions to save lives, this campaign will encourage a growing global attention to women’s long-term health and well-being. This includes advocating health and rights laws and policies, such as paid maternity leave and other important employment protections, as well as access to critical family planning services.
“It’s not enough for women to survive childbirth. They should also be able to enjoy a healthy life,” says Dr. Pascalé Alotei, director of sexual and reproductive health and research. Ta. “Women and girls everywhere need to access healthcare providers who listen to concerns and meet their needs, while they plan their own fertility rates, are responsible for the future and are able to protect their health. ”
Efforts are also needed to address specific risks of climate change in pregnant women and newborns. The evidence shows an association between higher temperatures and premature birth, stillbirth, hypertension and gestational diabetes, and infant mortality.
Investment, not costs
It is estimated that in low- and middle-income countries, each dollar invested in maternal and neonatal health will bring about USD 9-20 in return. Evidence shows that maternal and neonatal health spending leads to economic development and a happier and healthier society.
Worldwide, we support important maternal and neonatal health programs such as:
The intensive support initiative in 55 countries through all newborns in all newborns is working to expand access to emergency obstetric and neonatal care units, family planning and other critical services. and the postnatal period. Later this year, new recommendations will be published to help clinicians manage postnatal bleeding and non-communicable diseases during pregnancy, one of the causes of postnatal deaths. Research to improve clinical care options in pregnant women and newborns, including epidemics, where it is important to ensure that high-risk populations are not left behind. It ensures that birth and newborn care are ensured during humanitarian emergencies, such as mobile clinics and health posts in Syria and Sudan. Millions of women and babies are missing out on life-saving medical screening, vaccinations and treatment for healthcare workers who provide essential care for pregnant women and babies. , as an effort to strengthen the important role of midwives within the health system through accreditation and related guidance.
