ANTENATAL & POST NATAL CARE

Antenatal care is the healthcare provided to pregnant individuals before childbirth, focusing on monitoring their health and preventing complications. It includes regular check-ups, physical examinations, screening for conditions, nutrition, exercise, prenatal vitamins, childbirth preparation, breastfeeding, and newborn care.

Postnatal care, also known as postpartum care, focuses on the mother’s recovery, newborn’s health, breastfeeding, postpartum complications, contraception counseling, family planning services, and parenting education. These services are crucial for maternal and child health, promoting healthy development and a smooth transition to parenthood.
