The health of mothers and babies is the foundation of healthy families and communities, helping ensure hopeful futures for us all 🌏

This year’s @WHO World Health Day campaign, titled ‘Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures’, will urge governments and the health community to ramp up efforts to end preventable maternal and newborn deaths, and to prioritize women’s longer-term health and well-being 🤰

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. Additionally, women and families should be supported by laws and policies that safeguard their health and rights.
