Maternal & Child Health

Maternal and child health programs are designed to promote the health and well-being of mothers, infants, children, and adolescents. These programs include a variety of services such as maternal and child health clinics, home visiting programs, nutrition and breastfeeding education, parenting education, and support for families with children with special healthcare needs.

The goals of these programs are to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates, prevent childhood injuries and illnesses, promote healthy child development, and ensure access to quality healthcare for all families. By addressing the unique needs of mothers and children, maternal and child health programs play a crucial role in improving the overall health of communities and reducing health disparities.
