The best part of every woman's life is when she gets pregnant and becomes two. The point she comes to know that she is pregnant she starts dreaming about her child. She starts listing down new names for both boy and girl. She starts taking care of her more. She gets curious and excited about every single brief given by any relative or doctors. But we need to be more concern about her health and her baby's health as well.
On April 11th, every year we celebrate this day as National Safe Motherhood Day. This day is an initiative of the White Ribbon Alliance of India. The initiative was taken to enforce that women must have the availability and adequate access to care during pregnancy, childbirth and postnatal services. The White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood, India (WRA India) was formed when Centre for Catalyzing Change, an NGO, brought together a group of individuals and organizations to advocate safe motherhood in India. India is the first country in the world to have officially declared National Safe Motherhood Day.

The pillars of Safe Motherhood are listed as:
-Family planning
-Antenatal care
-Obstetric care - clean and safe delivery
-Prenatal care
-Postnatal care
-Control of sexually transmitted diseases and HIV infections

The White Ribbon Alliance works towards protecting lives of women and newborns in India by:
-Building alliances for improving maternal health facilities.
-Strengthening the capacity of healthcare workers.
-Influencing policies of maternal care.
-Harness resources for technology and training.
-Inspiring action at various levels.
