Maternal and child health
WHO CC aims to improve health policy and service delivery in nursing and midwifery throughout Asia/Pacific by: technical advice, research, policy analysis, consultancy, advocacy, training and skills development. WHO CC has worked alongside the Centre for Midwifery, Child and Family Health to improve maternal and child health.
Centre for Midwifery, Child and Family Health
The goal of the Centre for Midwifery, Child and Family Health is to improve the health of Australian families through leadership in midwifery, child and family health research, education, practice development and consultancy. Their focus is on childbearing women and their families with children up to five years of age. The Centre conducts research that improves the quality of practice and services provided by practitioners, particularly midwives and child and family health nurses. They also undertake research to improve the systems responsible for the delivery of that care. Their activities inform education, practice and policy development, service delivery and consultancy.
