Maternal and Child Health
Maternal health covers the period during post-natal, prenatal, and inter-natal phases. It is significantly influenced by maternal nutrition, with maternal morbidity and mortality often resulting from hemorrhage, infection, obstructed labor, unsafe abortion, and high blood pressure. Proper maternal nutrition is crucial for child health, preventing obesity and weight-related diseases. Alterations in fetal nutrition can lead to permanent changes in metabolism, structure, and physiology, impacting health in adulthood.
