Overview

Maternal health refers to the health and well-being of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, encompassing the care, support, and conditions needed for safe and healthy pregnancy and delivery. It is a central concern of global health because maternal mortality and morbidity remain high in many low- and middle-income settings, where access to skilled care, adequate nutrition, antenatal services, and emergency obstetric care can be limited. Improving maternal health depends on a combination of factors, including quality antenatal and postnatal care, skilled attendance at birth, nutritional support, and the strengthening of health systems and the workforce that delivers care. Research published through the International Journal of Global Health and related OpenAccessPub journals has examined many facets of maternal health, including the utilization of antenatal care services and the factors that influence it, the use of mobile communication to support expectant mothers, the integration of maternal and child health care delivered by community health workers, nutrition services for pregnant women, the well-being and burnout of maternal and neonatal healthcare staff, and the rates and outcomes of cesarean delivery in resource-limited settings. Together these contributions reflect a strong focus on improving care across diverse contexts. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to maternal health.
