Definition

Proper health care under medical advice is necessary for the mother to regain her health after the strains of child bearing. She needs also more nutrients in her food as she is to feed her baby with her own milk. Hence, on discharge from hospital, mothers are advised to register themselves in the hospital for post-natal care.
