This resolution expresses strong support for designating April 7, 2025, as "World Health Day" , aligning with the World Health Organization's theme on maternal and newborn health. It highlights persistent challenges within the U.S. healthcare system, including rising costs, access barriers, and a concerning decline in life expectancy since 2019, partly due to increased maternal and infant mortality. The resolution recognizes that the lack of quality healthcare disproportionately affects children, seniors, and people of color in marginalized communities, exacerbated by underrepresentation in clinical trials. It advocates for evolving health systems to address physical and mental health, protect healthcare workers, and ensure affordable, high-quality care. Ultimately, it stresses the importance of interagency coordination and tailored approaches to promote the health and well-being of all individuals and their caregivers.
