Obstetrical & Gynecological nursing is a specialty of caring for women during pregnancy, childbirth and post partum period. To have healthy children, it is important to promote the health of the childbearing women and their families from the time before childbirth. Prenatal care and guidance is essential to the health of women, the fetus and to the emotional preparation of the family for childrearing. Prompt and efficient care helps to reduce maternal mortality and morbidity.
