Maternal and Child Health (MCH)

Maternal and Child Health (MCH) refers to the branch of public health that focuses on the well-being of mothers and their children. It aims to improve health outcomes during pregnancy, childbirth, and the early years of a child's life. This includes access to healthcare services, education on nutrition and parenting, and prevention of diseases. MCH programs strive to reduce infant and maternal mortality rates, ensure healthy pregnancies, and support families in raising healthy children. By prioritizing the health of mothers and children, MCH contributes to stronger families and communities.
