An exploratory study on midwives’ perceptions of the availability of preconception care in health facilities in the Kpandai District of Northern Ghana
The study underscores the necessity for the development and implementation of clear guidelines and standardized protocols to ensure consistent and effective delivery of preconception care. Such measures are essential to guarantee that all individuals of reproductive age, especially those with pre-existing health conditions, receive appropriate preconception care interventions prior to conception.
