, Comprehensive Maternal Care
Enhancing continuity of care from antenatal through postnatal period is critical for
realizing substantial benefits in maternal and newborn health. Through routine surveillance and
timely treatment during prenatal care, healthcare facilities strive to prevent pregnancy
complications including gestational diabetes, hypertension, and preterm labor. Early detection
and intervention in these complications not only improves maternal health but also leads to safer
births (Peahl et al., 2020). In addition, improving postnatal care interventions is assumed to
improve maternal outcomes in terms of physical restoration, psychosocial wellbeing, and
successful breastfeeding. Optimal postnatal care may help to decrease such issues associated
with childbirth and prevent postnatal depression to enhance the recovery rate among mothers and
their general well-being (WHO, 2022).
Education and engagement are two crucial components of improving maternity care
services. Education encourages expectant mothers to make informed decisions regarding
nutrition during pregnancy, birth processes, baby care, and birth control. Maternal involvement
in decision making regarding health can translate to healthier behaviour and thus improved
future health of both the mother and the child (Vedam et al., 20219).
The use of telehealth solutions when it comes to prenatal to postnatal care also increases
access to healthcare services especially to pregnant women in the remote or underprivileged
areas. Such telehealth consultations allow for appointments, health check-ups, timely
consultations, support from healthcare practitioners, and more without the limitations imposed
by distance. This approach also benefits the continuity of care, and convenience to the mothers in
ensuring that they will be guided and supported all throughout their maternity (Fazal et al.,
2020).
