WORLD HEALTH DAY – Healthy Beginnings, hopeful futures

Healthy beginnings, hopeful futures, World Health Day celebrated in April begins a year long campaign which urges governments and the health community to ramp up efforts to end preventable maternal and newborn deaths, and to prioritize women’s longer-term health and well-being. Today messages from advocates, psychologists and behaviour change specialists continue to press for a ban on unhealthy foods and the marketing of these products in schools.
