Perinatal medicine is a medical specialty concerned with care of the mother and fetus during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. Continuous care from conception to delivery is essential for physical, mental and social well-being for both the mother and child.

Complications during pregnancy and childbirth are the leading cause of death and disability among women of reproductive age in developing countries. These issues can be resolved by education for all, universal access to basic health services and nutrition before, during and after childbirth; access to family planning services; attendance at birth by professional health workers and access to good quality care in case of complications; and policies that raise women’s social and economic status, and their access to property, as well as the labor force.
