Answer: April 11
Notes: National Safe Motherhood Day (NSMD) is observed on April 11 to promote maternal health and safe childbirth. It marks the birth anniversary of Kasturba Gandhi, honoring her legacy and highlighting the need for care to all pregnant and lactating women. The day spreads awareness about maternal rights, prenatal and postnatal care, and reducing maternal mortality. It aims to combat malnutrition, promote skilled birth attendance, and empower women through better health literacy. The 2025 theme, “Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures,” stresses quality healthcare from pregnancy to childbirth for safe outcomes for both mother and baby.
