Tomorrow’s World Health Day is a cause for celebration, and a call to action.

More mothers and children are surviving today than ever before.

But still, every 7 seconds, a mother or baby dies a preventable death.

That is why WHO, UNICEF and UNFPA launched the “Every Woman, Every Newborn, Everywhere” partnership, and the Child Survival Action initiative, to support national and local health systems in stopping preventable deaths.
