Morocco

Alternation between traditional and Western prenatal care

Vitamin deficiencies during pregnancy

Disparities between rural and urban birth outcomes

MOROCCO

Traditional and "modern" biomedical care are both integrated into pre- and post-natal care of both mother and fetus. Like many communities, the introduction of Western practices has both stratified and damaged pregnancy outcomes for many women, especially rural Moroccan women.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.
