Postnatal care is the care provided to mothers and newborns in the first six weeks after the baby’s birth.

It is very important for the health and well-being of you and your newborn baby that you receive postnatal care. Postnatal care can help identify common life-threatening complications, reduce infection after childbirth, and reduce deaths from prematurity or low birth weight.
