Maternal, Newborn and Child Health

Why this course is relevant

Preventable deaths of mothers, newborns, and children under five remain a national priority in Uganda.

What you will gain

• Continuum of care and respectful maternity care
• Antenatal care aims, danger signs, and birth preparedness

• Postnatal checks, breastfeeding, and family planning counselling
• Under-five immunisation, nutrition, and danger signs
