    We are delighted to have you learn and grow with Maternal and Infant Health Canada.

    On behalf of everyone at MIHCan, we would like to extend our warmest welcome and good wishes!


     

    Maternal and Infant Health Canada (MIH Can) focuses on improving the health of communities globally,

    with an emphasis on children and mothers, helping meet the ‘upstream’ and ‘downstream’ needs.

    MIH Can’s focus has been on Canada and India, though we are expanding and now partner with other nations on projects as well.

     

    India

    Maternal-newborn health outcomes for India fell well behind benchmarks suggested by the

    World Health Organization. Improving these health disparities must be both a national and international priority.

    Much of this mortality is a result of preventable risk factors, such as: limited knowledge and training

    of traditional birth attendants, lack of access to medical supplies, poor nutrition,

    preterm births and low birth weight, anemia, and poverty.

    History shows that a narrow focus only on one solution often fails in the long term.

    MIH Can recognizes that the only way to make a true lasting impact is to look at all determinants of maternal and infant health.

    The goal of this project is to reduce preventable maternal and infant mortality, and to improve health outcomes

    to save the lives of mothers and babies in a sustainable and empowering way.
