Caring for maternal health is more than simply a medical, or social issue, it’s also a Kingdom issue

‘This year’s World Health Day campaign also urges us to think beyond the delivery room. The importance of the mother’s wellbeing does not end after childbirth. Many women experience postpartum depression, anxiety, trauma and physical complications long after their babies are born,’ says Dr Sarah-Louise Hurst.

Each year on 7th April, we celebrate World Health Day, a moment to reflect on the state of global health and advocate for positive change. This year’s theme is Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures and will kick off a year-long campaign urging governments and the health community to double down on ending preventable maternal and newborn deaths and to prioritise women’s wellbeing.
