Maternal, Child & Adolescent Health: ANC/PNC, IMNCI, vaccines, growth monitoring, adolescent SRH
What you'll learn
Deliver evidence-based ANC/PNC: risk-stratify, counsel, screen for anemia/HTN/GDM, spot danger signs, and plan timely referral.
Manage labor safely with partograph and AMTSL; prevent/treat PPH and eclampsia; apply sepsis bundles.
Stabilize/resuscitate newborns (NRP, KMC, thermal care) and use IMNCI for pneumonia, diarrhea, and common childhood illnesses.
Run immunization & growth clinics (catch-up, WHO Z-scores) and provide adolescent care: SRH counseling, anemia and mental-health screening.
Requirements
No prior obstetrics, pediatrics, or public-health experience is required-this course starts from fundamentals. You'll do best with basic high-school biology and comfort with simple percentages/ratios. Learners should read common English medical terms (we explain jargon) and have a laptop/phone with stable internet plus a note-taking app. Optional-but helpful: WHO growth charts/Z-score tables, a calculator, and Excel/Google Sheets for quick IMNCI or immunization tables.
Description
Maternal, Child & Adolescent Health is a clinic-to-community course that builds confident, guideline-aligned practice across the life-course. We start with maternal care-preconception counseling, antenatal risk assessment, anemia/HTN/diabetes in pregnancy, ultrasound basics and screening timelines, danger signs, and respectful maternity care. You'll learn intrapartum essentials (triage, partograph, active management of third stage, PPH, preeclampsia/eclampsia, sepsis bundles) and immediate postpartum care, including contraception, lactation support, and mental-health screening. Each concept is unpacked with checklists, red-flag recognition, and case vignettes you can apply on ward rounds and in primary-care settings.Newborn and child health modules translate IMNCI/IMCI into everyday decisions: thermal care and KMC, neonatal resuscitation steps, sepsis recognition, jaundice thresholds, feeding problems, and growth faltering. You'll practice vaccine scheduling and catch-up logic, interpret WHO growth charts and Z-scores, and manage common illnesses (pneumonia, diarrhea with ORS/zinc, wheeze, UTI) with clear escalation pathways. Nutrition is approached practically-early initiation of breastfeeding, IYCF, micronutrient supplementation, and community screening for acute malnutrition.Adolescent health focuses on SRH counseling, menstrual disorders, acne and anemia, sports injuries, mental-health first steps, substance-use screening, and school-health approaches. We integrate safeguarding principles and confidential, age-appropriate communication. Throughout, you'll use brief algorithms (ABC stabilization, sepsis six, dehydration plans A/B/C), partograph interpretation, APGAR/readiness to resuscitate, and vaccine hesitancy counseling. Short "pearls and pitfalls," downloadable decision maps, and mini-quizzes keep learning focused and exam-ready.By the end, you will be able to deliver evidence-based ANC/PNC, conduct safe labor and postpartum care, stabilize and refer sick newborns, apply IMNCI for under-fives, run efficient immunization and growth-monitoring clinics, and provide empathetic, confidential adolescent care-including contraception, mental-health screening, and prevention counseling. No prior public-health experience is required; we build from fundamentals to a practical toolkit you can use immediately in clinics, wards, and community programs.
This course is ideal for MBBS students, BSc Nursing and Allied Health learners, interns/residents, midwives, and community health workers (ANM/ASHA) who want practical, guideline-aligned skills across maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent care. It also fits MPH/public-health learners, NGO/primary-care program staff, and hospital quality teams who run ANC/PNC clinics, immunization and growth monitoring, IMNCI services, school-health or adolescent counseling. If you're preparing for USMLE/ABIM/NEET-PG/FMGE or aiming to strengthen day-to-day clinic and community practice, this course gives you step-by-step, usable frameworks without heavy jargon.
