Maternal health refers to the health and well-being of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. It encompasses the physical, mental, and social aspects of a woman’s health during this time. Maternal health includes access to quality prenatal care, skilled attendance during childbirth, and postnatal care to ensure the well-being of both the mother and the newborn. It also involves addressing and preventing complications and risks associated with pregnancy and childbirth, such as maternal mortality, maternal morbidity, and other health issues that may arise during this period. Maternal health is a crucial aspect of public health and is essential for the overall well-being of women and their families.
