ICYMI: Unsafe Care a Leading Cause of Child Mortality — WHO

The World Health Organization (WHO) has raised alarm over unsafe care as a major driver of child mortality worldwide.“On too many occasions, children face unsafe care due to under-resourced facilities, insufficiently supported health workers, inadequate safety systems, and poor family engagement,” WHO warned.

According to the organization, these systemic gaps not only result in avoidable deaths and disabilities but also erode public trust in health institutions and further strain already burdened health systems.
