Childhood NCDs are rising — and the media has a powerful role to play in preventing them. UNICEF India, Elixir Foundation, Doordarshan, and Gujarat Information Department came together in Ahmedabad to build media capacity on NCDs in children and adolescents — from Type 1 Diabetes and asthma to sickle cell disease and obesity. The focus: early detection, reducing stigma, and stronger health communication #ForEveryChild.

UNICEF continues to deliver across Darfur. Last week, UNICEF and partners provided lifesaving health, nutrition, water and sanitation supplies to Um Baru in Sudan’s North Darfur, benefiting some 15,160 people cut off by ongoing violence.👇 unicef.org/sudan/press-re…

मां केवल एक शब्द नहीं, बल्कि प्रेम, त्याग, संस्कार और असीम ममता का स्वरूप हैं। एक मां ही परिवार, समाज और राष्ट्र की प्रथम शिक्षिका होती है, जिनके स्नेह और मार्गदर्शन से पीढ़ियों का निर्माण होता है। मदर्स डे के अवसर पर सभी माताओं को कोटि-कोटि नमन एवं हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं। आपका स्नेह, समर्पण और शक्ति हम सभी के लिए प्रेरणास्रोत है। ईश्वर सभी माताओं को स्वस्थ, सुखी एवं दीर्घायु रखें। #MothersDay

Like four month old Jahvany, every child deserves protection from preventable diseases from the very beginning. Today, Members of the Australian Parliament visited 9 Mile Clinic to see how routine immunization and essential services are reaching families. UNICEF values Australia’s partnership in strengthening health systems for children across PNG. For every child💙

💉Prevenir y vacunarse ahora = 🛡️estar protegid@ toda la vida El VPH es un virus que puede causar 6 tipos de cáncer. Vacunar a tu hijo o hija desde los 9 años, los protegerá a lo largo de sus vidas. Conoce más aquí 👉bit.ly/Info-VPH #SemanaMundialDeLaInmunización

India’s bond with vaccines has been strong and storied. Vaccines have protected generation after generation, with more children now living to see their first birthday, able to go to school, work, raise families of their own, and grow old. These are the lessons we must pass on to the generations to come. #VaccinesWork #WorldImmunizationWeek

@AxisBank @RBIsays What about mobiles being taken over by fraudsters? You never post on that?

Don’t let fraudsters catch you off guard. ​Always verify the source before clicking on any links or updating your details. ​Following these guidelines from @RBIsays ensures your money stays exactly where it belongs—with you. ​Stay vigilant, stay safe. #RBIKehtaHai #AxisBank

Urban planners, pl note: raising tree cover in a neighbourhood from 3% to 11% can reduce felt temperatures by 1°C, more than offsetting the warming caused by large-scale construction in the same locality. shorturl.at/ZvOHT @MoHFW_INDIA @MoHUA_India @ndmaindia @Nithin0dha

@AxisBank Wrong. Your RMs abandon sr ctzn#burgundy.

Our RMs go beyond their comfort zone to understand what truly matters to customers, so they can serve them better. That's Asli KYC.

@AxisBank Add @AxisBank that mobiles if stolen from senior ctzn can also be used for #fraud

Digital transactions are convenient, but caution is key. Don’t share OTPs, avoid unknown links, and always verify before paying. #RBIKehtaHai #AxisBank #SafeBanking

@AxisBank You@Axis Bank have zero oversight on #senior ctzn accounts and have loopholes on mobile #fraud. Sharing customer experience

Reporting in the Golden Hour (the first hour after a scam) can maximise the chances of recovering money lost in a scam. Dial 1930 or visit cybercrime.gov. into immediately inform the cybercrime department about the scam and let them initiate the money-recovery process.

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 to invest in quality antenatal care and newborn health, #ForEveryChild to get the start they deserve. 👉 Read More: economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/india/un-…

India’s progress in reducing child mortality shows that putting communities first and building strong systems and partnerships save lives. Let’s build on this momentum and on India’s example to reach every child, everywhere, and achieve progress in child survival. #ChildHealth #ForEveryChild

UN report lauds India for sharp dip in child deaths tribuneindia.com/news/health/un… via NaMo App

UN IGME 2025 applauds India’s exemplary performance in reducing child mortality. 🇮🇳 Sustained public health efforts, expanded immunisation, and strengthened neonatal care systems are driving a sharp decline in under-5 and neonatal deaths—positioning India as a global leader in child survival gains. #ChildHealth #NewBornCare #UNIGME2025

India is leading the world in child survival, as highlighted in the UN IGME 2025 Report. Since 1990, Neonatal Mortality Rate dropped from 57 to 17 and Under-5 Mortality Rate from 127 to 27, reflecting remarkable progress. This achievement is driven by SNCUs, JSY, JSSK, Mission Indradhanush, and digital tools like eVIN and UWIN, ensuring efficient vaccine delivery, better health monitoring, and stronger healthcare systems. With Ayushman Arogya Mandirs providing comprehensive primary care at the community level, India is paving the way to eliminate preventable child deaths and secure healthier futures for every child. #ChildHealth #NewBornCare #UNIGME2025

Union Minister, Jagat Prakash Nadda (@JPNadda) posts, "India emerges as a leading global exemplar in the UN IGME 2025 report for accelerating child mortality reduction. As per the UN IGME 2025 report, Neonatal Mortality Rate (NMR) has declined by nearly 70%—from 57 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1990 to 17 in 2024—reflecting sustained improvements in maternal and newborn healthcare services. Similarly, the Under-5 Mortality Rate (U5MR) has registered an even steeper reduction of 79%, declining from 127 in 1990 to 27 in 2024. Key initiatives—Special Newborn Care Units (SNCUs), Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY), Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakram (JSSK), and expanded immunization combined with robust health systems have been driving this transformation. India’s focussed comprehensive approach on neonatal care has paved the way for eliminating preventable child deaths and securing healthy future for our children."

All of us at UNICEF are devastated and outraged by the killing of our colleague Karine Buisset in a reported drone attack in Goma, DRC. My immediate thoughts are with the family, loved ones & colleagues across UNICEF. Civilians, including aid workers, must never be targeted.

@UNICEFIndia @airnewsalerts @Radio4Child, a big 👏 for @bigFM and @SulakshnaBramta for standing up forvwomen and children rights.
