Maternal and Child Health

Maternal and Child Health is a program area that focuses primarily on birth data and outcomes as well as mortality data for infants and children. Because maternal (mother) care is directly related to the birth of the child, how a mother takes care of herself before, during and after the pregnancy is included. One of the most important areas for monitoring and comparison relates to the health of a vulnerable population: infants and children.
