Maternal and neonatal health information distribution system

Published on Nov 19, 2015

To reduce maternal and neonatal mortality, pregnant women and their families should be motivated to participate in learning activities. They must understand the importance of nutritions, rest during pregnancy by woman and seeking timely health from recognized healthcare practitioners. The scientific research proved that human brain encapsulates a lot more information and more easily understands if training is given through the use of colours, lights, shades and shadows. An interactive learning-by-doing environment helps learners more engaged in the knowledge seeking process. By motivating pregnant women and their families to participate in health information seeking activities will prevent death and reduce healthcare cost and burden on health system. The economic conditions and social status of the family will improve considerably. The time, money, attention towards sick mother and child, and energy of care taker will be saved.
