India is at the forefront of reducing under-5 mortality, as highlighted in UNIGME 2025, with strengthened maternal and child healthcare systems driving steady gains in child survival across the country. This progress is powered by initiatives like SNCUs, JSY, JSSK, and Mission Indradhanush, along with digital systems such as eVIN and UWIN that are enhancing service delivery and improving health outcomes. With Ayushman Arogya Mandirs expanding access to comprehensive primary healthcare, India is ensuring every child has the opportunity to survive, grow, and thrive. #ChildHealth #UNIGME2025

From villages to victory, real change is unfolding where it matters most. Ayushman Arogya Mandirs are strengthening early care, improving access, and nurturing healthier childhoods, while U-WIN is ensuring every child is vaccinated on time, and fully protected. Together, they are accelerating India’s steady decline in child mortality. As recognized by the United Nations Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation, India has reduced Neonatal Mortality Rate from 57 to 17 and Under-5 Mortality Rate from 127 to 27 since 1990 reflecting the impact of strong grassroots healthcare backed by digital innovation. #AyushmanArogyaMandir #ChildHealth #UNIGME2025 #UWIN

A newborn's survival begins with the well-being of their mother. In India, this truth has shaped policy. From Janani Suraksha Yojana to a nationwide network of Special Newborn Care Units — investments in maternal and newborn care are saving lives. Yet globally, nearly half of all under-five deaths in 2024 happened in a child's very first month. 4.9 million children didn't make it to their fifth birthday. India's progress shows what's possible. We call on governments and partners everywhere must invest in quality antenatal care and newborn health, so every child gets the start they deserve. 👉 Read here data.unicef.org/resources/leve… @PMOIndia @MoHFW_INDIA

संयुक्त राष्ट्र अंतर-एजेंसी समूह (UNIGME) की नवीनतम बाल मृत्यु दर आकलन रिपोर्ट में भारत द्वारा शिशु मृत्यु दर में सुधार लाने में उल्लेखनीय प्रगति हुई है। नवजात मृत्यु दर में लगभग 70% की कमी आई है-1990 में प्रति 1,000 जीवित जन्मों पर 57 मौतों से घटकर 2024 में 17 रह गई है-जो मातृ एवं नवजात शिशु स्वास्थ्य सेवाओं में निरंतर सुधार को दर्शाती है। इसी प्रकार, पाँच वर्ष से कम आयु के बच्चों की मृत्यु दर में 79% की और भी तीव्र कमी दर्ज की गई है, जो 1990 में 127 से घटकर 2024 में 27 रह गई है। ये उपलब्धियाँ सुदृढ़ स्वास्थ्य प्रणालियों, विस्तारित टीकाकरण कवरेज, संस्थागत प्रसव और लक्षित बाल स्वास्थ्य हस्तक्षेपों के प्रभाव को रेखांकित करती हैं, जिससे भारत वैश्विक स्तर पर शिशु मृत्यु दर में कमी लाने में एक महत्वपूर्ण योगदानकर्ता के रूप में स्थापित होता है। #ChildHealth #IndiaProgress #Healthcare #UNIGME #PublicHealth #NewIndia
