What is the Maternal Infant Health Program?

The Maternal Infant Health Program (MIHP) is a home visiting program designed to support pregnant women and infants up to one year old. It provides health education, support, and resources to ensure healthy pregnancies and promote the well-being of infants. Services are typically provided by a team of nurses, social workers, and nutritionists who visit families at home, offering personalized care and guidance. The program aims to reduce infant mortality, improve birth outcomes, and connect families to community resources. Participation is usually voluntary and free for eligible families.
