World Health Day, celebrated on April 7, 2025, will kick off a year-long campaign on maternal and newborn health. The health of mothers and babies is the foundation of healthy families and communities, helping ensure hopeful futures for us all. To learn more about the World Health Organization (WHO) initiatives, visit https://www.who.int/campaigns/world-health-day/2025 According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), babies can hear and respond to sounds even before birth! Because it's so important to catch any hearing issues early, newborn hearing screening programs are available in every U.S. state. Your little one’s hearing should be checked before leaving the hospital or birthing center, but if it’s missed, just make sure the test happens within the first month of life. https://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/your-babys-hearing-screening-and-next-steps #hearinghealth #hearingresearch #americanhearingresearchfoundation #hearingloss #infanthealth #worldhealthday #WHO (fb)
