First the in dividual. In Maternal health we are concerned with a great deal of individual education. Teaching the expectant mother how to care for herself in order to produce a healthy child. And to be well and strong enough to care for herself and her child when it is bom. There are so many things we are trying to aid you in. Your diet, personal hygiene, proper exercise, things that you should consult your physician about.' The proper time in your pregnancy to begin visits to your doctor to insure a healthy mother and child. Why an early blood test may assure you that your child will be well. There are a number of things a blood test will reveal. More well and healthy babies and mothers will raise our standard of living in the community. We are going to hear more and more of MCH Clinics. We hope at some future date to have one in For syth County. The larger and better organized counties now have MCH Clinics. They provide medical care for indigent families who feel they must wait until time of delivery to consult their doctor. We cannot stress enough the fact that your health department offers much of the information mentioned aove before these clinics are organized. We would also like to point out that you as individuals as well as community groups can be instrumental in the organizat i ion of a Maternal & Child Health I Clinic in our county.
