obstetric practices, and family planning

Maternal health, obstetric practices, and family planning play a vital role in improving neonatal and pediatric outcomes. Proper family planning helps to reduce high-risk pregnancies, prevents complications, and ensures adequate birth spacing, which positively influences child growth and development. Obstetric care during pregnancy and delivery is directly linked to neonatal health by reducing the risks of prematurity, low birth weight, and perinatal mortality.
