The 2025 – 2026 theme\, “Healthy Beginnings\, Hopeful Futures\,” focuses on improving maternal and newborn health.

Preventable maternal and newborn deaths remain a significant challenge in many regions. \n\n\n\nWorld Health Day reminds us that health is not a privilege. It is a fundamental human right.
