World Health Day 2025 theme: “Healthy beginnings, hopeful futures”

 

“World Health Day 2025 marks the launch of the “Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures” campaign, a powerful call to action that stresses the need to address maternal and newborn health. While the statistics are staggering, they also serve as a wake-up call—thousands of preventable deaths continue to occur each year, highlighting the gaps in healthcare systems worldwide. Beyond just physical health, mental health and emotional support for women are essential for a truly holistic approach to well-being. As we move forward, it’s clear that we must not only improve healthcare access but also create a system that values and supports women and families at every stage”. – Danielle, AMHIE Blogger
