Integrating Maternal, Newborn, and Child care with Family Planning is a win-win! Immediate Postpartum FP, FP and Immunization Integration, and Post-abortion FP are all HIPs. #HIPs4FP #strongertogether
What is today’s high-impact practice (HIP)? Family Planning Integration! Offering family planning information and services proactively to women in the extended postpartum period during routine child immunization contacts is a family planning HIP. EngenderHealth recently implemented a desk review to document evidence on family planning integration within Ethiopia’s primary health care system, including child immunization. What did we learn? Integrating family planning is widely accepted by clients and service providers and has multiple benefits, including saving time for both groups, and provides an important opportunity to increase women’s understanding of family planning options. How can we scale-up this HIP? Ethiopia’s Family Planning Service Integration Guideline states that child health and immunization services should be leveraged for family planning counseling. These guidelines are being used to inform health provider training and program design. Interested in learning more?

❗Calling All Parents❗ Regular check-ups are essential for your child's health and well-being! Here are some key pediatric check-ups and why they matter: 1️⃣ Well-Baby Visits: These check-ups monitor your baby's growth and development, ensuring they are meeting important milestones. They also provide vaccinations to protect against serious illnesses. 2️⃣ Developmental Screenings: These are assessments to track your child's cognitive, motor, and social-emotional development. Early detection of developmental delays can lead to timely interventions and support. 3️⃣ Annual Physical Exams: This includes comprehensive exams to evaluate your child's overall health, including height, weight, blood pressure, and vision. Detecting health issues early can prevent complications later on. 4️⃣ Dental Check-ups: Regular dental visits help maintain your child's oral health, prevent cavities, and promote proper dental hygiene habits from a young age. 5️⃣ Immunizations: Vaccines protect your child from serious diseases like measles, polio, and whooping cough. Keeping up with immunizations is crucial for their health and helps prevent the spread of contagious diseases. Remember, pediatric check-ups aren't just about treating illness—they are about preventing. Schedule your child's check-ups today to ensure they grow up happy, healthy, and thriving! #PediatricHealth #ChildWellness #PreventiveCare #HealthyKids #ParentingTips #KSHCares

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF HEALTH CHECKUPS FOR NEWBORNS? Health checkups are conducted for newborns to monitor their overall well-being, detect potential health issues early, and ensure proper growth and development. These checkups include assessments of vital signs, weight gain, and developmental milestones. During these visits, vaccinations may also be administered. Regular health checkups contribute to early intervention, providing parents and healthcare providers with the information needed to address any health concerns and promote optimal health for the newborn. TUI educates mothers about the significance and purpose of delivering quality healthcare to newborns, equipping them with essential knowledge to address challenges effectively. . . . . . #newborns #infants #thrive. #survive. #flourish. #grow. #develop. #nurtured2thrive. #breastmilk. #breastfeeding #nourish. #nutrition. #hygiene. #cordcare. #umblicalcord. #immunization. #vitamins. #prenatal. #neonatal. #childhood. #babies. #postnatal. #care. #healthcare. #love. #nurture. #thrivingup. #nigeria. #africa
