National Safe Motherhood Day is commemorated each year on April 11 in India, coinciding with the birth anniversary of Kasturba Gandhi. This observance highlights the urgent need for accessible, respectful, and quality maternal care. It plays a significant role in drawing attention to maternal health rights, reducing maternal mortality, and ensuring safe delivery practices. By aligning the date with Kasturba Gandhi’s legacy, the day reinforces the value of women’s health and well-being in national development. The 2025 theme, “Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures,” emphasizes care throughout pregnancy to promote positive outcomes for mothers and infants.
