2 minutes:
breath flows 30 times, heart beats 150 times, eyes blink 35 times.
2 minutes:
Earth rides 3600 Km through its orbit, hit by 12000 lightings and shaken by 2 earthquakes.
2 minutes:
One woman is dying from maternal causes globally.
@ourworldindata.org ourworldindata.org/maternal-dea...

If we can make maternal deaths as rare as in the healthiest countries, we can save 275,000 mothers each year

Maternal mortality was much more common in the past. It is much lower today, but global inequalities are still large.

Disease shouldn’t decide a child’s future. But in many places, it still does.

In 15 days, global leaders will face a choice: fund vaccines or put us all at greater risk of outbreaks and epidemics.

A healthier future is within sight, but only if we step up now.

🤱 Mayo. Mes de la madre. Mes de la vida.
Sin embargo, una mujer muere dando vida cada dos minutos en el mundo. Esto es 800 mujeres al día. El 95% de las veces en países de ingresos bajos y medios.

El motivo: complicaciones relacionadas con el parto y el embarazo.

WHO @who.int · Mar 27

A decline in funding for the HIV response could result in millions of preventable new infections and deaths, with up to 120,000 of these deaths affecting children.

International cooperation is essential to sustain the advances we’ve made in HIV prevention, testing, and treatment.

10 million potential new HIV infections by 2030; 3 million potential more deaths, including 120,000 children, due to HIV-related causes by 2030. This could be the impact of HIV funding cuts.

The true test of #UHC is the extent to which it addresses the needs of vulnerable populations. At #EB154, we encouraged WHO Member States to support medical innovation and the delivery of missing health tools for #NTDs. Our intervention at the @who.int : dndi.org/statements/2...
