The theme of World Health Day 2025 is ‘Healthy start, hopeful future’. Under this theme, a one -year campaign on maternal and newborn health will be launched.

World Health Organization on maternal and neonatal health
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), every year around 300,000 women lose their lives due to pregnancy or delivery. In addition, more than 2 million children die in the first month of their life and about 2 million children are born dead. This is a very large and tragic figure, which shows about 1 stop death every 7 seconds.
According to existing trends, by 2030, maternal survival (saving the life of mother and newborn after delivery and taking care of them, so that they stay healthy and survive) 4 out of 5 countries are away from tracks to meet the goals of improvement. In addition, 1 out of 3 countries will fail to meet the goals of reducing newborn death. This is a very big challenge that we have to face together.
