What is material and child health

• Maternal health specifically addresses the health of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. It aims to ensure safe pregnancies and deliveries, prevent and manage complications, and support mothers' recovery.

• Child health covers the health of children from birth through adolescence. This includes promoting healthy growth and development, preventing and treating childhood illnesses, and ensuring access to healthcare services like immunizations and regular check-ups.

The overarching goal of MCH is to reduce infant, child, and maternal mortality and morbidity, and to promote the healthy development of families.
