July is Rotary Maternal and Child Health Month

Maternal and Child Health Month is observed in July by Rotary International. This month is dedicated to one of Rotary's key areas of focus: improving the health of mothers and their children. During this month, Rotary clubs around the world engage in activities and projects aimed at providing care to mothers and children, especially where the need is greatest.

 

 Key aspects and initiatives of Maternal and Child Health Month include:

 

1. Reducing Maternal Mortality: Initiatives aimed at providing quality prenatal care, improving access to skilled childbirth services, and offering postnatal care to reduce maternal mortality rates.

2. Enhancing Child Health: Projects focused on reducing child mortality, such as vaccination drives, nutritional programs, and initiatives to prevent and treat diseases among children.

3.  Community-Based Solutions: Tailoring solutions to meet the specific needs of communities, such as clean water projects, sanitation improvements, and healthcare education.
