As part of my training, Today, we had the honor of giving a health talk to pregnant and breastfeeding mothers at MODEL PRIMARY HEALTH CENTER in my state on two very important topics: Immunization and Family Planning.

IMMUNIZATION What You Should Know
Immunization is the process of protecting the body against deadly diseases through vaccines.
It is safe, effective, and one of the most important ways to reduce illness and death, especially among children. We further englightened them on the Importance of Immunization stating that For pregnant women immunization protects both the mother and her unborn baby from diseases like tetanus. And For children immunization helps build strong immunity and protects against diseases such as MEASLES, POLIO, TUBERCULOSIS, HEPATITIS B, and more. Every child deserves a healthy start in life. Ensure your baby is fully immunized.
FAMILY PLANNING takes Control of Your Health.
Family planning allows individuals and couples to decide when and how many children to have.
It gives mothers time to rest between pregnancies and helps families raise healthy, well-cared-for children. We further listed the BENEFITS Of FAMILY PLANNING which includes that:
Family planning helps to reduce unplanned pregnancies.
It helps Protects the health of mothers and babies.
It also helps to Improves family and economic stability.
After stating the benefits, we brought to their knowledge the different methods of family planning available which includes natural, pills, injectables, implants, and more.
After bringing this awareness to them, we further advised them to always speak with a trained health professional to choose what works best for them by choosing the right family planning method for their health and lifestyle and also making sure that their children are fully immunized.
