Save the Children - The Silent Emergency
The campaign introduces the concept of a "silent emergency," drawing attention to the often-overlooked crisis of maternal health, especially in conflict zones and areas affected by climate disasters.
A significant revelation is that nearly one in five children born this year will enter the world without medical care, placing both them and their mothers at heightened risk.
The campaign aims to engage global health policymakers, governments, non-governmental organizations, and the general public to advocate for improved maternal healthcare services.
