Prenatal/Postnatal Care

This program is directed to all pregnant women and their partners. One of the goals of this program is to see each mother at least once during each trimester. Early identification of all pregnancies is a priority. Mothers are also encouraged to get early medical attention and have regular physician visits. The community health nurse and community health representative promote this program to community members, follow up participants, assist mothers with registration of infants for Health Care Coverage and provide support and counselling to parents. This can include growth and weight monitoring of infants, nutrition counselling and referrals to other professionals.
