The WHO (World Health Organization) guidelines on maternal care

The WHO guidelines on maternal care recommend that pregnant women receive comprehensive support throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and after birth. This includes regular prenatal check-ups, proper nutrition, and access to skilled health professionals during delivery. They emphasize respectful, evidence-based care to ensure the health and safety of both mother and baby. The guidelines also promote early detection and management of complications, mental health support, and postnatal follow-up to promote healthy outcomes. Overall, the focus is on ensuring a safe, respectful, and nurturing environment for mothers throughout their pregnancy journey.
