โMaternal health is a cornerstone of a healthy society, and today we take the time to reflect on the strides weโve made and the work still to be done. We are committed to ensuring that all mothers in our care receive the best possible treatment, support, and education throughout their pregnancies and beyond. By raising awareness, we not only help save lives but also empower women to take charge of their health, making informed choices for themselves and their families.โ

โMaternal Health Awareness Day is a reminder of the vital role that quality care plays in the well-being of mothers and their babies. We, as a team, work together to provide comprehensive, compassionate care that addresses both physical and emotional needs. It is important to continue educating women about healthy pregnancies, the importance of regular check-ups, and the support systems available to them. Our goal is to ensure that every mother feels valued, safe, and cared for during one of the most significant times in her life.โ
โI would like to express my sincere gratitude to our dedicated Obstetrics & Gynecology teamโ, said ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐น๐บ๐ฎ ๐๐ฟ๐๐บ๐ฝ, ๐ฆ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด & ๐๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐๐ป๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐. โChildbirth is a special and emotional experience, and for most mothers, itโs a time when they come in with anticipation and hope, expecting to leave with joy. At SLBMC, we witness this multiple times every day but achieving this requires a seamless collaboration of many moving parts. Itโs a true reflection of the skill, expertise, and training of our team. We are proud of our progress in maternal health outcomes here at the hospital, but we are well aware that we must continue to do moreโbecause every mother deserves the opportunity for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. We remain committed to making that a reality for all.โ
The observance of Maternal Health Awareness Day aligns with SLBMCโs ongoing commitment to improving maternal health outcomes and providing essential care and resources to families in Antigua and Barbuda. The hospitalโs dedication to maternal health extends beyond todayโs observance, with a focus on continuous education, preventive care, and support for women at all stages of motherhood.
