Maternal health is often overlooked after childbirth, with a focus primarily on the newborn. Dr. Suman Mehla, Director of Obstetrics & Gynaecology at Fortis Hospital Greater Noida, emphasizes that the postpartum period marks the beginning of a woman's long-term recovery, both physically and mentally. Conditions such as postpartum anaemia, thyroid dysfunction, and mental health issues like postpartum depression can persist if not addressed. Many women, especially in rural and semi-urban areas, lack awareness and access to necessary healthcare, leading to significant gaps in care. Dr. Mehla advocates for structured postnatal follow-ups beyond the standard six-week check, recommending evaluations at three months, six months, and annually thereafter. This comprehensive approach includes monitoring vital health indicators and providing mental health support. Increasing awareness through community programs and digital health platforms is essential for improving maternal health outcomes. Ultimately, prioritizing maternal health is imperative for fostering healthier families and societies.
