Comprehensive Women and Child Health

Comprehensive Women and Child Health

Comprehensive Women and Child Health (CWCH) means caring for the whole health and wellbeing of women and children across every stage of life, rather than focusing on a single disease or medical condition.

It brings together prevention, screening, early diagnosis, treatment, education and emotional and social wellbeing, supported by professionals from different healthcare disciplines.

For women, this includes areas such as reproductive health, breast health, menopause, mental health, metabolic and cardiovascular health, cancer prevention and healthy ageing. For children, it encompasses healthy development, disease prevention, early detection, nutrition and access to appropriate healthcare.

At its heart, CWCH recognises that the health of women and children is interconnected with the wellbeing of families and communities.

Our philosophy:

Caring for Women. Protecting Children. Promoting Health.
