flag WHO and UN launch campaign to reduce high maternal and newborn mortality rates, especially in Africa.

flag Despite progress, maternal and newborn mortality rates remain high, particularly in Africa and low-income countries. flag About 700 women die daily from pregnancy-related causes, with nearly all deaths occurring in low-income regions. flag The World Health Organization (WHO) and UN aim to raise awareness and improve access to care through "Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures," a campaign focusing on maternal and newborn health. flag The goal is to reduce maternal mortality to fewer than 70 deaths per 100,000 live births by 2030, but current progress is slow, with Africa needing to increase its reduction rate twelvefold.
