Maternal and infant health has been identified as a priority health concern and is a part of the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP).

Maternal and infant health is crucial for the well-being of future generations, as it lays the foundation for healthy lives. Ensuring proper care during pregnancy, childbirth, and infancy reduces the risks of complications such as premature birth, low birth weight, and maternal mortality. Healthy mothers are more likely to raise thriving children, which in turn strengthens communities and economies. Investing in maternal and infant health promotes long-term societal stability, supports emotional and cognitive development, and contributes to the overall health of populations.
