Study Notes
Maternal and Child Health (MCH)
- MCH refers to the health of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postnatal period.
- Child health refers to the health of children from conception to the age of five.
- MCH services are a package of comprehensive care for pregnant women before, during, and after delivery and for infants and preschool children (conception to 5 years).
Objectives of MCH Services
- Reduce maternal morbidity and mortality.
- Reduce perinatal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.
- Promote reproductive health and regulate fertility.
- Provide maternal and child health care to all mothers and children.
- Promote and protect the health of mothers.
- Promote and protect physical, mental, and social growth and development of children.
Components of MCH Services
- Maternal Health:
- Antenatal care
- Intranatal care
- Postnatal care
- Child Health
- Family Planning
Sustainable Development Goals
- Goal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.
- Target 3.1: By 2030, reduce the global maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100,000 live births.
- Indicator 3.1.1: Maternal mortality ratio
- Indicator 3.1.2: Proportion of births attended by skilled health personnel.
Maternal Deaths
-
Female deaths from any cause related to or aggravated by pregnancy or its management (excluding accidental and incidental causes) during pregnancy, childbirth, or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy, regardless of the pregnancy's duration or site.
-
Direct Maternal Deaths: Deaths resulting from obstetric complications of pregnancy, labor, and puerperium; interventions,omissions, or incorrect treatment, also from a chain of events.
-
Indirect Maternal Deaths: Deaths resulting from pre-existing diseases that were aggravated by the physiological effects of pregnancy.
Examples of Causes of Maternal Deaths
- Postpartum hemorrhage
- Obstetric embolism
- Maternal hypertension
- Maternal sepsis
- Cardiac diseases
- Diabetes mellitus
- COVID-19
- Renal diseases
Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR)
- The number of maternal deaths during a given period per 100,000 live births.
- Formula: MMR = (Number of maternal deaths / Number of live births) x 100,000
MDSR Program (Maternal Death Surveillance and Response)
- Routine identification, notification, quantification, and determination of causes and avoidability of all maternal deaths.
- Uses information to prevent future deaths.
- Aims to eliminate preventable maternal mortality.
- A continuous action cycle of continuous surveillance.
Goal of MDSR Program
- Eliminate preventable maternal mortality.
- Count every maternal death and assess its true magnitude.
- Provide information to guide actions to eliminate preventable maternal mortality at health facilities and communities.
Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH)
- Blood loss ≥ 500ml within 24 hours after birth.
- Leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide (approximately 35%).
- Preventable but potentially fatal in a few hours.
Delays
- Delay 1: Recognizing the need to seek care
- Delay 2: Reaching facilities
- Delay 3: Receiving care
Impact of Treatment Delay for Severe Bleeding
- Immediate treatment: 70% improvement in survival.
- 15-minute delay: 10% decrease in survival benefit.
- 3-hour delay: No benefit
Maternal Sepsis
- A life-threatening condition defined as organ dysfunction resulting from infection during pregnancy, childbirth, post-abortion, or postpartum period.
- One of the leading causes of maternal mortality worldwide.
- Causes more than 260,000 deaths every year.
Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care (EmONC)
- Basic components: Antiobiotics, Oxytocin, Anticonvulsants, Manual removal of placenta, Manual vacuum aspiration for retained products of conception, Vacuum extraction, Newborn resuscitation, Blood transfusion, Surgical interventions (including C-sections)
