Dear Men, Please accompany your partner for ANC during her pregnancy to ensure safe delivery. Your support is important for her mental and physical health. All pregnant mothers should attend at least 8 ANC visits at the nearest health facility #MaternalChildHealthUG

Babies should be exclusively breastfed until they are six months old. This provides the baby with all the nutrients he/she needs to grow well and healthy. #MaternalChildHealthUG

World Preeclampsia Day is taking place under the theme "Preventing Pre-eclampsia; Empowering mothers for safer pregnancies" at OPM Gardens in Arua City. The day is officiated by Dr Richard Mugahi, Commissioner Reproductive and Child Health representing the PS, @DianaAtwine.
