Integrating Maternal and Child Health Services with Primary Health Care: Practical Considerations - Softcover
This book addresses the need to link services for the care of mothers and children to other components of primary health care. Services for family planning are also considered. Intended for use by programme managers, this book offers a practical and conceptual framework for evaluating existing services, detecting inefficiencies, avoiding common pitfalls, and planning improvements that build on the many lessons learned from experiences with primary health care services throughout the world. The opening chapter explains the many theoretical advantages of a primary health care approach and explains why, in practice, maternal and child health services so often function as a separate component of the primary health care system. The second chapter identifies 11 main issues that need to be understood and considered before planning an improvement or expansion of services. Information ranges from an alert to the disadvantages of mobile health units to a discussion of procedures for identifying mothers and children with a high-risk profile - and then helping the community to reduce the underlying cause of the risk.
