The Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre has announced that the Maternal and Child Health programme will once again be held this month.
The annual initiative is in partnership with 35 different maternity and children's hospitals in Abu Dhabi.
The programme aims to provide the best health care services for mothers and their children, as well as raise awareness to get periodic screenings to detect any problem early, and provide the needed treatment, which includes preventive initiatives and periodic checkups, with antenatal screenings, newborn screenings and well-child visits.
Virtual workshops will also be held to build the capacity of healthcare providers to promote newborn screening programmes.
