Maternal-Child Health

Maternal Child Health (MCH) refers to the health of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, as well as the health of children from birth to age five. It emphasizes the importance of proper medical care, nutrition, and education for mothers and children to ensure safe pregnancies, healthy births, and healthy child development. MCH programs aim to reduce maternal and child mortality, provide vaccinations, promote breastfeeding, and support families, ultimately leading to healthier communities and improved quality of life for future generations.
