No woman should die giving life.
This year’s #WorldHealthDay – which marks 5 years from the Sustainable Development Goals deadline — will focus on maternal and newborn health.
The campaign will call for a major intensification of efforts to ensure access to high quality care for women and babies, especially in the poorest countries and crisis settings where most maternal deaths occur.
