Pakistan is among the countries with the highest rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. A lot of the mortalities occur during or immediately right after birth due to a tremendous lack of postnatal and postpartum care. For a long time, health care providers have massively overlooked postpartum and postnatal care in Pakistan, as well as around the world. Telemedicine is playing a vital role to meet this lack of services. You can now book an online doctor appointment for advice related to your postpartum concerns such as postpartum mental health, lactation advice etc.
During the course of pregnancy, expectant mothers are advised multiple routine checkups, but the guidelines for postpartum and postnatal care are very vague and only limited to a single visit 6 to 8 weeks after delivery. A single consultation is barely enough for new mothers who are recovering from birth, breastfeeding, and adjusting to massive lifestyle changes, and taking care of an infant. With Telemedicine women now have access to the best doctors in Pakistan online, from home, at any time, whenever they want to consult a doctor regarding any concerns about their newborn or themselves.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) highlights the importance of postpartum and postnatal interventions in a report that says
Are Online Consultations the Answer for New Mothers and Babies?
Research shows that women in Pakistan still lack access to this essential care. With telemedicine health providers can offer tailored interventions, focusing on the needs of new mothers. You can book a consultation with a doctor online if you or a woman in your life is going through a tough time as a new mother, and seeks medical advice.
The shift towards incorporating virtual care into postpartum and postnatal care was gaining popularity around the world even before the COVID-19 pandemic. In Pakistan the concept took a boost during the pandemic since the need for virtual healthcare became more evident than ever. Telehealth eases the burden of travel and risk of exposure to infectious diseases, especially the CoronaVirus, for new mothers and babies.
