UN data shows more women and newborns survive now than ever before but a baby or a pregnant woman still dies every 11 seconds somewhere in the world
In this July 19, 2019 photo, community health officer Parag Jyoti Das examines a newborn baby girl as her mother Imrana Khatoon, 20, lies by her side inside their flood-affected home in Gagalmari, east of Gauhati, India.
A report led by UN agencies UNICEF and the World Health Organization , found that since 2000, child deaths have reduced by nearly half and maternal deaths by more than a third, mostly due to improved access to affordable, quality health services. Of the total child deaths, 5.3 million were among under-fives, with almost half of these in the first month of life.
She urged governments and health leaders to invest in health services to "do all it takes...to save these precious lives".The data showed vast inequalities between regions, with women and children in sub-Saharan Africa running a far higher risk of early death than elsewhere.
