Maternal and Child Health Care (MCHC) is an essential and integral component in the global health care system that covers health of women during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period and health of the new-born baby, infancy and childhood. Developments and emphasis on promoting MCHC both at national and international level have implications for reduction of maternal mortality and infant mortality and for healthier future generation. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) also emphasize on reduction of MMR and neonatal mortality. In the above context, the book aims to analyse MCHC developments in a developing economy like India and it covers the major themes such as the status of MCHC in India; policies, programmes, and regulations for MCHC; challenges for MCHC, indigenous knowledge in reproductive health, roles and responsibilities of health workers, health care rights, and modelling of out of pocket expenditure for MCHC
