Answer
Maternal health encompasses the physical and mental well-being of women throughout their reproductive lifespan, encompassing the entire continuum from preconception to the postpartum period. It extends beyond just the pregnancy period itself, incorporating preconception care to optimize reproductive health, prenatal care to monitor and manage pregnancy risks, safe delivery practices, and comprehensive postpartum care to address potential complications. Access to quality healthcare, including skilled professionals, adequate facilities, and appropriate technologies, is fundamental to good maternal health outcomes. Nutrition, mental health, and family planning services are also integral components of holistic maternal health care. Addressing social determinants of health such as poverty and education is equally vital in ensuring positive maternal health outcomes. Investing in maternal health is an investment in the future health and well-being of both women and their children.
