Integrating postnatal care into the redesign of group care beyond birth
The resulting group care beyond birth blueprint offers a strategy to redesign maternal and infant/child health services that can positively transform postnatal care and provide essential services to postpartum people. Adaptation of the blueprint to local realities is expected. Future research is recommended to test the model's acceptability, feasibility, and effectiveness across settings. Using this blueprint, we can build the evidence base to support this model aiming to improve maternal and infant/child health outcomes.
