🚸 When girls stay in school, understand their rights & access contraception, they delay pregnancy and marriage.

The updated WHO guideline shows how sexuality education is central to these outcomes.

Where a woman lives should not determine whether she survives childbirth. Yet in sub-Saharan Africa, women are 130 times more likely to die in childbirth than those in Europe or North America. Through SafeBirth Africa, Unitaid, @UNFPA and partners are changing this reality by increasing access to affordable, quality-assured health products for postpartum hemorrhage.

This work is made possible with the support of the European Union, through the Team Europe Initiative on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in Africa. SafeBirth Africa brings together regional authorities, health professionals and technical partners to create a sustainable, country-led response that saves lives and strengthens health systems for the long term.

🩸 PPH is a leading cause of maternal death.

New HRP research confirms uterine atony as the top cause — and highlights preventable risk factors like anaemia and lack of antenatal care.

[Unitaid @UNITAID]

Child mortality is at a historic low, a quiet triumph of global health. But progress is slowing, and 4.8 million children still die before age five each year. As @bryanrwalsh writes, that’s 4.8 million too many.

At Unitaid, we’re helping change that. We backed malaria prevention reaching 45 million children a year, introduced the first child-friendly HIV and TB medicines in 100+ countries, and expanded access to affordable medical oxygen. We're also working to get quality health products to all women and newborns, when and where they need them while supporting climate-smart solutions to protect health in a warming world.

The tools to end preventable deaths exist. What we need now is the support to deliver them quickly, equitably and at scale.

Cervical cancer claims the lives of 350,000 women each year, with 94% of deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries.
