Maternal and child health refers to the health care services and practices that focus on the well-being of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, as well as the health of infants and children. This field aims to reduce maternal and child mortality rates and improve health outcomes through education, access to medical care, and support services. Key components of maternal and child health include prenatal care, safe delivery practices, immunizations, and nutrition. Programs often emphasize the importance of family planning, breastfeeding, and regular health check-ups to ensure that both mothers and children receive the necessary care for healthy development.
