Safe motherhood
UNICEF supports training of family doctors and nurses/midwives on antenatal care and works to ensure safe delivery of babies. We also provide basic supplies for health centres and maternities and support improvement of medical records. Another activity is support for preparation of home-based records. We support printing of child health books and pregnancy health books where families can record important information such as child development, health and immunization status, and pregnancy follow up. UNICEF also helps the government to provide pregnant women with iron and folic acid supplements to prevent iron deficiency anaemia.
