Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health
World Vision works with community and faith leaders to foster good family relationships and address stigma and discrimination issues affecting pregnant women and caregivers. In particular, World Vision supports those from the most vulnerable populations, ethnic minorities, and the disadvantaged so that they can have better access to Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (MNCH) services. Prioritized MNCH services include health facility strengthening, community support, family support and provision of health and nutrition commodities.
World Vision seeks to improve health systems through the implementation of Citizen Voice and Action, which provides a platform for dialogue between the government and the community to advocate for improved services.
Timed and Targeted counseling (TTC) is a community health worker/volunteer approach that offers cost-effective interventions for the mother and family in an effort to provide ideal newborn care.
Healthy Timing and Spacing of Pregnancies (HTSP) is an intervention to help women and families delay or space their pregnancies to achieve the healthiest outcomes for women, newborns, infants and children within the context of free and informed choice, taking into account fertility intentions and desired family size.
