Track 8: Women and Child Health

Maternal health refers to women's health and well-being throughout their lives, particularly during pregnancy, childbirth, and child rearing. Despite the fact that maternity is seen as a rewarding natural experience that is sensitive to the mother, WHO has stated that a large majority of women face numerous challenges, including health problems and even death (WHO n.p) As a result, there is a pressing need to invest in women's health (Amiri and Ulf-G 13). Subsidizing healthcare costs, maternal health education, encouraging good family planning, and assuring progressive check-ups on the health of women with children are just a few of the ways the investment can be made.
