The WHO's year-long campaign for maternal and newborn health
Every Woman Every Newborn Everywhere is uniquely placed to show that we can, and we must, end preventable maternal and newborn deaths. With over 50 countries prioritizing maternal and newborn heath and wellbeing, Every Woman Every Newborn Everywhere will show that progress is possible, and share what it takes.
“EWENE ensures action for maternal and newborn health under one roof, so that we coordinate more effectively with local and international partners in places that need it
the most (…) Stronger partnership is more important now than ever, as we seek to reinvigorate progress towards the SDG
targets in the face of a dramatically constrained financial environment”.
WHO Director-General, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, on World Health Day 2025.

The World Health Organization maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health e-handbook is a new resource for Ministry of health programme managers.
