Maternal health reforms refer to changes and improvements in healthcare policies and practices aimed at enhancing the health and well-being of mothers during pregnancy, childbirth, and postnatal care. These reforms typically focus on providing better access to medical services, increasing the quality of care, ensuring trained healthcare professionals are available, and addressing social determinants like education and nutrition. By improving maternal health, these reforms aim to reduce pregnancy-related complications, lower maternal mortality rates, and ensure healthier outcomes for both mothers and their babies, contributing to overall community health and development.
