Pregnancy & Pre/Postnatal Care

Prenatal care, also known as antenatal care, is a type of preventive healthcare. Its goal is to provide regular check-ups that allow doctors or midwives to treat and prevent potential health problems throughout the course of the pregnancy and to promote healthy lifestyles that benefit both mother and child.

Postnatal care (PNC) is the care given to the mother and her newborn baby immediately after the birth and for the first six weeks of life.
