Overview
OSCE ON - MCH CARE (MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH CRISIS ASSESSMENT AND RESPONSE)
According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 800 women die each day from preventable pregnancy and delivery-related causes. Ninety-nine percent of maternal deaths occur in developing countries. There are a number of factors limiting access to the high-quality care that would reduce this mortality to a more acceptable level; these include limited family resources, living far from a health care facility, and the lack of a reliable system of transportation. Timing is critical in preventing maternal death and disability. New-born care consists of evaluation for the need of resuscitation, a complete physical exam, administration of prophylactic medications and vaccines, adequate feedings, safe sleep, hygiene of the new-born, and other important areas for baby wellbeing.
