Abstract
The World Health Day 2025 calls for a global commitment to maternal health. Maternal health has long been a central focus in the global health agenda, prominently featured in both the Millennium Development Goals and Sustainable Development Goals. Substantial progress has been made in reducing maternal mortality through international collaboration. However, significant challenges persist, including reductions in global health financing and emerging threats such as climate change. Mindset changes are urgently needed for maternal health and broader global health governance. Sustainable investment and health system strengthening are imperative. Global health governance should be reformed through a paradigm shift toward an accountable, fair, efficient, and transparent ecosystem.
