Question -

Describe how at least four maternal and child health programs help the Maternal and Child Health Bureau accomplish its mission.

In 1990 the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) was enacted by US Congress to promote and improve the health of the nation's mothers and children. This new program in partnership with key stakeholders had a goal which was to enhance the physical and emotional well-being, wellbeing and prosperity of the maternal and tyke wellbeing population which incorporates the majority of the country's babies, ladies, adolescents, children, and their families, which included fathers.

The MCHB, which bolsters the Maternal Child Health Training Program, guarantees that professional schools and graduate programs chose to get awards of training that offer understudies and staff with an attention on women and their children. In their research, teaching, and administration-three columns that must be solidly set up in any field before improvement can happen. By pulling in consideration regarding a child's needs in a general wellbeing structure that additionally accentuates such values of Maternal and Child Health (MCH) as a family-focused and socially skilled consideration, the program points at last to impact all parts of maternal and kid wellbeing all through the country. The program underpins an arrangement of key activities of leadership, all of which advance great objectives.

Some of the services provided are Direct Health Care Services, Enabling Services, Population-Based Services, and Infrastructure-Building Services. Breaking each one of these services down in the MCH pyramid, the first program to highlight is Women's Preventive Services program. This program aims to improve women's health across the lifespan and access to high-quality health care. It helps provide preventive screenings like HPV, HIV, breastfeeding support, and contraceptive methods to name a few. Another program is Work Force Training. A portion of this program educates and spurs health care professionals knowledge and leadership in maternal and child health. This program helps professional obtain MCH leadership competencies to work in the program throughout the country. A third program is Healthy Start. This program is focused on reducing the rate of infant mortality and improve perinatal health. Funded communities actively work together to reduce racial and ethnic disparities by using a community-based approach for delivery of services for women, infants, and families. Like Healthy Start, the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program. WIC is a nutrition program that helps pregnant women, new mothers and young children eat well, be active and stay healthy. It provides health-related goods and services to its participants and their children, which has successfully resulted in birth to babies with higher birth weights and fewer fetal and infant deaths.

The above mentioned MCH programs are a mere snapshot of the initiatives MCH takes to reach their goal of promoting and improving the physical and mental health, safety, and well-being of women and children. (May need a better conclusion than this, feedback appreciated)
