A new WHO guideline on postnatal care puts a positive experience at the heart of the care that women and their babies receive in the first six weeks after birth. It recognises that care should go beyond the mere delivery of certain services.

The post Putting positive experiences at the centre of postnatal care appeared first on Evidently Cochrane.
