Maternal health and Child health

Maternal health refers to the health of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. It encompasses the health care dimensions of preconception, prenatal, and postnatal care in order to ensure a positive and fulfilling experience in most cases and reduce maternal morbidity and mortality in cases of complications. Improving maternal health is a global priority, as it directly impacts the well-being of both mothers and their children. Efforts to improve maternal health include promoting access to quality healthcare, providing education and support, and addressing social determinants of health such as poverty and education.

Child health encompasses the physical, mental, and social well-being of children from infancy through adolescence. Ensuring child health involves preventive care, timely medical intervention, and promoting healthy lifestyles to support growth and development.
