About the Programme


This program provides you with a thorough understanding of the core concepts of maternal and child health (MCH) and a strong research focus so as to actively contribute towards the development of evidence for upliftment of MCH services.

Better Maternal & Child Health (MCH) is a continuous global need rather than being thought of primarily as a discipline focused on the developing world. Evidence-based best practices in maternal and child health (MCH) have transformed this conventional discipline into an interdisciplinary profession, creating a need for specialized public health professionals who are trained to focus on the holistic wellbeing of the mother and the child.

The Advanced Postgraduate Diploma in Global Maternal and Child Health is a distance e-Learning course that provides detailed knowledge and expertise in MCH issues and evidence-based best practice solutions to the problems faced globally. This program also provides MCH professionals a strong research focus so as to actively contribute towards the development of evidence for the upliftment of MCH services.
