Presentation on Pre-conceptional Counselling

The goal of Pre-conceptional counselling is to reduce the risk of adverse health effects for the woman, fetus, and neonate by working with the woman to optimize health, address modifiable risk factors and provide education about healthy pregnancy. Currently only 20% women plan their pregnancy.
Any patient encounter with nonpregnant women with reproductive potential is an opportunity to counsel about wellness and healthy habits, which may improve reproductive and obstetric outcomes should they choose to reproduce.

The lectures are designed to give a comprehensive understanding to all delegates of Women’s Health.

The link will be available for 6 months for all participants.

There will also be poster presentations and prizes for first 3 posters!
