Yet, beneath this progress lies a troubling reality: many children still lack access to essential, life-saving services.
Thousands of young lives are lost each year to preventable causes. Complications from premature birth, infections, and birth-related issues remain leading contributors to newborn deaths—conditions that modern healthcare can often treat or prevent.
