Health World Day 2025
Healthy beginnings, hopeful futures
The health of mothers and babies is the foundation of healthy families and communities, helping ensure hopeful futures for us all.
Helping every woman and baby survive and thrive
This task is critical. Based on currently published estimates, close to 300 000 women lose their life due to pregnancy or childbirth each year, while over 2 million babies die in their first month of life and millions more are stillborn. That’s roughly 1 preventable death every 7 seconds.
Listening to women and supporting families
Women and families everywhere need high quality care that supports them physically and emotionally, before, during and after birth.
Health systems must evolve to manage the many health issues that impact maternal and newborn health. These not only include direct obstetric complications but also mental health conditions, noncommunicable diseases and family planning.
