Ann-Beth Nygaard Møller - Maternal health does not exist in isolation: Creating a future where pregnancy and childbirth are safe, dignified, and equitable
World Health Day 2026 shines a spotlight on the intersection of science and global well-being, with this year’s theme, “Together for health. Stand with science.” The day calls for greater research, collaboration, and accountability in improving health outcomes, goals that sit at the heart of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3): ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. Within SDG 3, target 3.1 sets a clear benchmark: reduce the global maternal mortality ratio to fewer than 70 deaths per 100,000 live births by 2030, a target the world remains far from reaching. To mark the day, we spoke with Dr Ann-Beth Nygaard Møller, an independent researcher affiliated with the University of Gothenburg, whose career reflects both scientific rigor and the growing recognition that maternal health is a matter of human rights. Her work explores how data systems, quality of care, and global collaboration can be strengthened to reduce preventable maternal and newborn deaths.
