Maternal Health

Maternal health refers to the health of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. It encompasses the physical, emotional, and social well-being of women as they navigate the reproductive process. Maternal health focuses on the prevention of complications and the management of health issues related to pregnancy and childbirth, aiming to ensure safe delivery and a healthy postnatal experience for both mothers and babies. Key components of maternal health include access to prenatal care, education on pregnancy and childbirth, proper nutrition, mental health support, and access to medical interventions when necessary. The goal of maternal health is to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality rates, improve health outcomes for mothers and infants, and promote healthy families and communities.
