HEALTHCARE

Healthcare is rarely universally accessible and is distinctly stratified in most countries, with impoverished or rural families receiving little, inadequate, and inconsistent care. Several initiatives to expand pre- and postnatal checkups and services have been undertaken by the World Health Organization and individual governments in an effort to reduce infant and maternal mortality rates.1

This project is intended to provide insight into the similarities and differences in global customs as they relate to the health of pregnant people and infants. Further, it is intended to bring awareness to the changes in traditional medicine and habits in pregnancy and the postpartum following the widespread introduction of Western practices in medicinal, cultural, and political fields across the globe.
