Maternal health refers to the health of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. It encompasses the physical, mental, and social well-being of mothers, ensuring they receive proper care before, during, and after giving birth. Key aspects include access to prenatal care, safe delivery practices, and support for mental health. Improving maternal health is crucial for reducing maternal mortality rates and ensuring healthy outcomes for both mothers and their babies. Factors affecting maternal health include nutrition, access to healthcare, and socioeconomic status. Addressing these issues can lead to better health for families and communities.
