Mother and Child Health
Many programmes by large organisations such as UNICEF are running to improve the quality of mother and child care and provide a safe and nurturing environment for expectant mothers and newborn babies. The aim is to fight malnutrition among infants and children, provide a safe and hygienic environment to mothers pre and postpartum, and provide knowledge for the welfare of kids and their mothers.
The mother and child care programme at Lifecare has a specialised team working towards a singular goal to address the issue of women's health, provide care to mothers and children up to 2 years of age, and educate on the importance of breastfeeding and nutrition.
The specific objectives of Mother and Child Health are:
Reduction of maternal, perinatal, infant and childhood mortality and morbidity.
Promotion of reproductive health, Promotion of the physical and psychological development of the child and adolescent within the family Reproductive tract infections (RTIs) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
The infant mortality rate has drastically declined in the past couple of decades. Common illnesses such as pneumonia, malaria, dengue, and jaundice are still common in newborn babies. New mothers are also prone to diseases during pregnancy or after giving birth. The focus of this programme is to reduce the risk of these diseases and provide proper education to expectant mothers and their families about possible problems and effects post-delivery. Our team includes pediatricians, gynaecologists, and highly qualified nurses with a proper understanding of pre and postpartum issues like breastfeeding, infant care, mental well-being, and postpartum depression.
The health of expectant mothers and children is the focus of mother and child care. It also includes:
