Maternal, Infant, and Child Health

Maternal health is the health associated with pregnant women until the postpartum period. Motherhood is an exciting experience, but it suffers for too many women, it hurts health or even death. Improving maternal health is essential to saving the lives of more than half a million women who die from complications of pregnancy and childbirth each year. Deaths then occur in low-wage settings, including cases of high blood pressure, infection, high blood pressure, and complications during delivery. Maternal health is closely linked to infant survival.
