Presentation reveals key risk factors and health outcomes in maternal and child health, suggesting effective interventions for better care.
This presentation provides an in-depth overview of Maternal and Child Health (MCH), focusing on improving health outcomes for women, newborns, and children. It explores the essential components of MCH, including antenatal care (ANC), skilled birth attendance, postnatal care, child immunization, breastfeeding and nutrition, and the prevention and management of common childhood illnesses. The material highlights key risk factors affecting maternal and child health, such as limited access to quality healthcare, delays in seeking care, socio-cultural barriers, and inadequate awareness of danger signs in pregnancy and childhood. It also outlines evidence-based strategies for strengthening MCH services—such as early ANC booking, birth preparedness, male involvement, community outreach, health worker training, and improved referral systems.
