Abstract
Maternal, infant health is very essential for the progress of any
country since they form the pillar of our future generations.
United States has made significant strides towards securing the
maternal and child health through various initiatives and
programs within the country and around the globe. Despite the
existence of health care initiatives to promote maternal, infant
and child health, maternal and infant mortalities are still
recorded on a daily basis in the U.S. Risk factors to maternal,
infant and child mortalities include poor and a lack of a
antenatal care attendance, unskilled birth attendants,ce and
childhood illnesses. More than a quarter of every single
maternal mortality is because of postpartum hemorrhaginge, for
the most part after labor.

Infant mortality is another prevalent case that contributes to the
worsening situation in child and maternal health, because of
untimely births represent more than a quarter of infant
mortalities, trailed by mortalities during births and neonatal
sepsis. Maternal and child health (MCH) programs concentrate
on medical problems concerning related to mothers, children,
and families – such as , for example, access to suitable pre-natal
and child welfare services, baby mortality mitigation initiatives,
emergency medical services, prevention of injuries, infant
screening, and administrations to kidschildren children with
unique health care needs. The United States is working to
prevent maternal deaths, infant mortalities, and child
mortalities, and to reduce the prevalence of these incidences. It
calls for a multidisciplinary approach in order to eliminate this
issue affecting the mothers and children. Reinforcing referral
systems and linkages between various levels of hospital-based
patient care, and between healthcare organizations providers
and the general population, must be a top needpriority.

Maternal child and infant health
Enhancing the prosperity of mothers, newborn children, and

young children is a vital public health objective for the United
States and the entire globe. Their prosperity dictates the
strength of the people in the future and can anticipate future
public wellbeing challenges for families, groups, and the
medical services framework. The targets purpose offor
mMaternal , infant, and cChild hHealth (MCH) programs as a
health care priority area in public health is to address an
extensive variety of conditions and, health practices. There are
indicators in the health care system that influences the health
and personal satisfaction of our women, kidschildren, and
families. Putting resources into maternal and child health is not
just a political and social basic for relevant authorities and
policymakers, however it is additionally criticalcrucial. This
assertion is based on the grounds that solid healthy women
prompt toare necessary for sound families and social orders,
solid the general wellbeing frameworksof society, and
productive economies. The purpose of this paper is to discuss a
public health problem in the United States involving maternal,
infant and child health.

(maternal health is suffering due to women receiving
insufficient treatment, not having medical insurance, and being
misinformed or uninformed regarding their health; in order to
improve maternal health, there must be collaboration among
healthcare providers and general population) (write this at the
end of first paragraph)
Relevance and prevalence
Objectives focusing on maternal child health (MCH) are
discussed in twenty-seven of the 42 topics in Healthy People
2020, including a priority areas devoted just to ,mMaternal,
iInfant and cChild hHealth. Recognizing risks to healthy living
before and amid pregnancy and concentrating on anticipating
the wellbeing intricacies of wellbeing can prompt topromote
more advantageous mommothershealthier mothers and

kidschildren. An emphasis on maternal, newborn child, and
young children keeps on being a need for states as they intend
to enhance the strength of the country and lessen social
insurance costs. As the initial steps towards accomplishing
these outcomes, there are demonstrated solutions that can
significantly enhance maternal care in the United States
healthcare systems. Statistics from the World Health
Organization (WHO) additionally recommend show that around
53% of all child deliveries in developing nations at present
happen with the help of a skilled birth attendants, while
emergency care are is not available in some states countries
(Creanga et al., 2014; De Brouwere, Richard & Witter, 2010)).
Most global and national health strategies and programs put a
priority on maternal child services. Maternal, infant, and child
mortality among women along these lines merits priority urgent
consideration because the health of women has suggestions
implications foron the strength of their babies, family, and the
country. As indicated by the World Bank, of the considerable
number of locales on the planet, tropical sub-Saharan Africa
positions nations most minimal inon average have the lowest
household incomes in the world and future during childbirth,
and the most astounding rates ofin mortality for kidschildren
below five years. In addition, it is the just a single withthis area
has a negative development rate between 1980 and 2000. In
these sub-Saharan countries, the household income is low and
the mothers are not able to afford and or gain access to maternal
child health services that comprisessuch as of antenatal and,
postnatal care, family planning, and child immunization. These
potentially lead to increasing rates of maternal and infant
mortalities.
Risk factors in maternal and child health
The health of mothers and young children is interrelated and
influenced by various factors. Millions of pregnant mothers,
new mommothers, and kidschildren encounter extreme ailment

or demiseillness or death every year, to a great extent from
preventable or treatable causes. Poor antenatal care, lack of
access to these services, and unskilled birth attendantsce are the
contributing factors. Almost all maternal and children
mortalities happen in theunder unclear circumstances. But
aAttention to maternal and child wellbeing (MCH) is ever
increasing, young children and maternal mortality hasve fallen
considerably since 2000;, and enhancing these services is
viewed as basic necessary to cultivating monetary economic
advancement (Group, 2008). Still, as endeavors concentrate on
accomplishing new worldwide MCH objectives -, for example,
preventing mortality among babies and young children and
diminishing worldwide maternal mortality -, huge difficulties
remain. In spite of the accessibility of compelling mediations,
the absence of subsidizing and constrained access to
administrations services hasve hampered advances, especially
on for maternal wellbeing (Bhutta et al., 2010).
The U.S. government has a long history of supporting
worldwide MCH endeavors and is the biggest benefactor
government to MCH exercises initiatives on the planet,
notwithstanding being the single biggest giver donor to
nourishment endeavors on the planet. Lately, the United States
has set a higher need on maternal child health services inside
the USG worldwide wellbeing motivation (especially since the
U. S implemented closure preventable infant and maternal
mortalities as one of its three primary worldwide wellbeing
objectives) and expanded subsidizing has been given provided
to bolster maternal child health and related endeavors.
( in this paragraph you have to talk about the three factors I
mentioned in the first paragraph and you don’t have to delete
everything, anything related to the mortality maternal you can
keep it)
Current Global Snapshot
Every year, approximately 6 six million children below five
years old ( mostly newborns) children around the world loose

their lives from generally preventable or treatable conditions.
Moreover, around 303,000 ladies kick the bucketwomen die
amid during pregnancy and labor every each year, and millions
more experience serious antagonistic outcomescomplications.
These difficulties are particularly common in creating
developing nations, with huge incongruities amongst creating
and created localesdeveloping and developed areas in maternal
and young childreninfant mortality. Moreover, sub-Saharan
Africa is the hardest hit district area on the planet, trailed
followed by Southern Asia; together they represent more than
80% of maternal and young childreninfant mortalities (Bhutta et
al., 2010).
Mortality
Maternal mortality in which mMore than a quarter of every
single maternal mortalitiesy are because of postpartum
hemorrhaginge, for the most part after labor. Sepsis is also a
cause, risky and unsafe abortions, preeclampsia, and eclampsia
are other real causes. Infections that attack the mothers during
pregnancy, including malaria, anemic conditions, and HIV
infections, represent around about a one-third of maternal
mortalities. Deficient care amid during pregnancy and high
fruitfulness fertility rates, regularly often because of an absence
of access to contraception and other family planning methods
and services that are accessible to mothers of reproductive ages,
lead to an increase in the numbers of maternal mortalities
(Creanga et al., 2014).
worsening situation in child and maternal health, because of
untimely births represent more than a one-quarter of infant
mortalities, trailed followed by mortalities during births and
neonatal sepsis. Low birth weight is a noteworthy risk to
consider and a major indirect reason for infant mortalities.
Young childrenInfant mortality is due to a wide range of causes,
including pneumonia, malaria, diarrhea and some other less
common risks to deaths include measles and HIV/AIDS.

Malnutrition and under-nutrition fundamentally makes the
kidschildren' vulnerable to these childhood conditions, just like
it is cause by the absence of access to clean water and sanitation
(Target, 2006)
Maternal, baby infant, and child health results are key to both
the present and future of Ohio. To address health service s
challenges and enhance wellbeing results for these vulnerable
groups, the State of Ohio has cooperated with the Department of
Health and Human Sservices to actualize research and quality
change programs over across the state. The key regions of
centerareas of study incorporate distinguishing and testing
successful models of look after treatingmonitoring pregnancyt
ladies, enhancing perinatal wellbeing through quality care
change activities went for expanding consistence withbased on
evidenced-based prescribed procedures, and expanding
postpartum clinic attendance rates and type two2 diabetes
screenings for ladies with a background marked byof gestational
diabetes (Bhutta et al., 2010).
Maternal and child health programs
Maternal and child health (MCH) programs concentrate on
medical problems concerning mothers, children, and families.
This includes, for example, access to suitable pre-natal and
child welfare services, baby mortality mitigation initiatives,
emergency medical services, prevention of injuries, infant
screening, and administrations toservices for kidschildren with
unique health care needs. The United States has put resources
into having mothers and families with good health and trusts
this investment that it will spare cashsave money by avoiding
highly exorbitant medical conditions and keeping away from the
requirement for related support services that accompany it.
Health-sector investments accounted for around half the
mortality reduction in young children between 1990 and 2010.
High-impact interventions and systems strengthening have been
made in the U.S, for example for immunization and other child
health interventions, skilled birth attendance and maternal and
newborn care, and family planning. Other gains resulted come

from health-enhancing investments in other sectors; (e.g., from
improved levels of education, women’s political and
socioeconomic participation, and environmental management
(e.g. forsuch as access to clean water), and reduced levels of
fertility and poverty). Income inequalities within countries had
a negative impact on child mortality. The proportions of factors
varied by country, and with the statistical models used, but the
core set of multisector factors contributing to accelerated
progress was the same. Maternal and child health under the U.S.
Health Policy Gateway which includes a variety of programs
targeting pregnant women and infants funded through federal
Maternal and Child Health block grants and categorical state
programs and services.
Current global and the federal government initiatives and
programs have brought new consideration regarding and
financing for MCH activities. As the international community
attempts to support and finance endeavors to accomplish SDGs
2 and 3,'s which focuses on targets of MCH and nutrition, key
issues and difficulties for the United States’ endeavors include:
keeping oncontinuing growing access to and guarantingee the
nature quality of maternal, infant and child health care, while
building interstate initiatives (Bhutta et al., 2010). In Working
within the existing controlled subsidizing environment,
initiatives also must ensure to access for those who are very
vulnerable and supporting advances in research and the take-up
of new advances and immunizations, thus promoting thee
joining of MCH initiatives with different U.S. worldwide
programs, for example PEPFAR. Other extensive U.S.
improvement endeavors, which incorporate education and food
security and organizing these endeavors with the practices of
different sponsors and donor nations must keeping in mind the
end goal to expand the effect of accessible assets.
Lifesaving

Solution
s
The period around childbirth makes a crucial window of chance
for preventive measures, actions and services of conditions that
complicates maternal and infant health, which can generally end
up being risky. Accessibility and availability of skilled birth
attendants such as midwives, fundamental and comprehensive
emergency reproductive and obstetric care during pregnancy
and delivery is most significant. A substantial extent of infant
ailments and mortalities can likewise be mitigated by utilizing
straightforward, less expensive initiatives during child delivery
and during the puerperal period, provided both in the health
facility and at home (where presently whereby nearly have of
infants die). Consistent and reliable home visits by community
health care workers and volunteers at the – both when mothers
are delivering and immediately after delivery - can be
instrumental in reducing complications and deaths occurring
during post-natal period.
Fundamental life-saving actions incorporate instantly drying the
infant and keeping the infant warm, skin to skin contact,
postponed line bracing, starting breastfeeding as quickly as time
permits after conveyance, supporting the mother to breastfeed

solely, giving uncommon special care to low-birth weight
babies, and diagnosing threatening issues for infants issues-, for
example, asphyxia and sepsis (Group, 2008). Reinforcing
referral systems and linkages between various levels of
hospital-based patient care, and between health organizations
and the general population, must be a top needpriority. Mothers,
families and the entire community should be empowered by
supporting their participation and proactive heath seeking
behavior for pregnancy care, adequate and balanced nutrition,
birth readiness, utilization of a gifted chaperon during
childbirth, acknowledgment of maternal and infant threat signs,
early start and elite breastfeeding. Postnatal administer to ideal
birth dispersing is essential (Creanga et al., 2014). In addition,
identifying all the pregnant women conducted by community
health care workers who will provide continuous antenatal
follow-ups and support for the mothers in postnatal period can
advance health practices and opportune health seeking behavior
if there should arise an occurrence of problems.
UNICEF programs have been launched that deal with maternal,
child, and infant health. They look to diminish imbalances of
care, reinforce wellbeing frameworks, consolidate flexibility
and hazard educated arranging, and center consideration on
lessening of youthfulreducing young pregnancies (UNICEF,
2008). UNICEF advances an all-encompassing, rights-based
approach to the health of maternalmothers, newborns, and

health of young children. Currently, UNICEF endeavors to
upgrade the role of our women, counteract early marriages of
girls, promote the education of girls, and prevent female genital
mutilation (FGM), and foster the improvement life abilities
among the adolescents. The Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA), which is an agency in the department
of health that is responsible for maternal child health (UNICEF,
2008). The Maternal and Child Health Bureau is also
responsible for improving the health of mothers, newborns and
young children.
( here you have to talk about the solutions for the 3 factors)
In conclusion, with a blend of sufficient investment in the most
vulnerable groups, practical initiatives, and good leadership,
incredible advance progress is conceivable in maternal and
child health. More noteworthy venture and strategic planning is
required, keeping in mind the end goal is to achieve the most
minimized with better, more comprehensive, disaggregated
disseminated information, frameworks fortifying frameworks,
and development and neighborhood engagement, to defeat the
last hindrances and achieve a large number of barred
mommothers and their infants. I will use the knowledge on
maternal and child health to support for the rights of women and
children and end infant and maternal mortality.

University
3. Marketing Mix (4 P’s) proposed for the launch of
CMCP+SAN in Brazil
c. Promotion
According to Bonecker, Pucca Junior, Costa and Pitts (2012),
it has been found that promotion strategy is also known as the
marketing communication strategy which includes the

advertising the products and services by below the line (BTL)
and above the line (ATL) activities. Promotional activities are
carried out by the marketers and business companies in order to
raise customer awareness for the particular brand and product.
Promotional strategies are performed by the business
organisations to gain the customer’s attention and increase the
customer’s demand whereas; Lovelock and Wirtz (2010) stated
that the case of Colgate-Palmolive Company states the
promotional activities initiated by the company to enter in
Brazil. Colgate entered in Brazil through the awareness
programs based on the promotions and oral care by Colgate
toothpaste.
As described by Gordon (2012), it has been found that
promotion is related to the awareness and how companies
spread information about their products and services under the
influence of customer care. However, in the case of Colgate-
Palmolive Company, the company entered into a huge
promotional program to make the customer aware about the oral
care. Schools, housing societies and communities were targeted
in order to spread awareness about Colgate’s oral care. BSBF
operating program helped children in schools and churches to
understand the importance of oral care and hygiene.
In the viewpoint of Bernhardt, Mays and Hall (2012), it has
been found that strategic alliance and partnerships with the
existing (domestic) firms or association helps the business

companies to gain the attention in the society or region they are
going to operate in. The Company made a strategic alliance with
Ministry of Health of Brazil and entered the market with their
approval. The oral health education program was designed to
educate the 55 million children in Brazil. The main challenge
was faced by Colgate-Palmolive was with the positioning and
launching of CMCP+SAN toothpaste. The product itself claimed
that it is an improved and innovative formula for oral care but
unfortunately was not recommended by the dentists. However,
Colgate-Palmolive CMCP+SAN was famous among the
consumers for fresh breath and pleasant sensation.
d. Price
In the views of by Gordon (2012), it has been evaluated that
pricing is the main factor which influences the customer
preference, customer retention and customer loyalty whereas; it
has been found that most of the consumer pay higher prices for
the sake of quality they are getting. Marketers apply pricing
strategies by under the consideration of consumer demographics
by targeting the need of the segment. The pricing strategies are
applied to get the customer’s attention and maximise the
revenue in the long run. However, the case of Colgate-
Palmolive CMCP-SAN states that the launching of toothpaste in
Brazil with CMCP+SAN was an effective idea. The prices were
set for the consumers of all class, as Colgate-Palmolive targeted
the 55 million people in Brazil the prices were reasonable and

affordable by every household. The main purpose of
implementing reasonable and approachable pricing strategy to
attract the consumers.
As per the analysis of Hollensen (2015), fair pricing is the
concept that falls in the budget of the consumer whereas; it has
been found that low prices of the products and services increase
the demand in the market. Colgate-Palmolive CMCP+NAS
entered the market and made a visible appearance on the shelf.
The consumer demand among youngsters increased in the
market due to the prices meet their demands and fresh sensation
of the toothpaste. Colgate-Palmolive sustained in the Brazilian
market due to its pricing strategy along with the provision of
reason to believe (RTB) to the consumers.

Maternal, infant and child health
(do abstract summary 250 words)
Maternal child and infant health
Enhancing the prosperity of mothers, newborn children, and
under-fives is a vital public health objective for the United
States and the entire globe. Their prosperity dictates the
strength of the people in future and can anticipate future public
wellbeing challenges for families, groups, and the medical
services framework. The targets for the Maternal, infant, and
Child Health (MCH) as a health care priority area in public
health is to address an extensive variety of conditions, health
practices, and indicators in the health care system that

influences the wellbeing, wellness, and personal satisfaction of
our women, kids, and families. Putting resources into maternal
and child health is not just a political and social basic for
Finance and Health Ministers, Heads of State and different
policymakers, however it is additionally critical. This is on the
grounds that solid women prompt to sound families and social
orders, solid wellbeing frameworks, and productive economies.
( she said you are repeating sentences here “ the yellow” and
you have to mention the purpose of the paper and don’t use the
term “ under five years” just use young children.
Relevance and prevalance
Objectives identified with the strength of maternal child health
(MCH) are discussed in twenty seven of the 42 topics in
Healthy People 2020, including a priority areas devoted to
Maternal, Infant and Child Health. Recognizing risks to healthy
living before and amid pregnancy and concentrating on
anticipating wellbeing intricacies can prompt to more
advantageous moms and kids. An emphasis on maternal,
newborn child, and under five keeps on being a need for states
as they intend to enhance the strength of the country and lessen
social insurance costs. As the initial steps towards
accomplishing these outcomes, there are demonstrated less
costly solutions that can significantly enhance maternal care in
United States healthcare systems. Statistics from the World
Health Organization (WHO) additionally recommend that

around 53% of all child deliveries in developing nations at
present happen with the help of a skilled birth attendants, while
emergency care are not available in some states (Creanga et al.,
2014; De Brouwere, Richard & Witter, 2010)).
It subsequently shocks no one that both global and national
health strategies and mediation conventions put premium on
maternal child services. ( she said this sentence doesn’t make
any sense and she didn’t understand it) Maternal, infant and
child mortality among ladies along these lines merit priority
consideration because the health of women has suggestions on
the strength of their babies, family and the country. As
indicated by World Bank, of the considerable number of locales
on the planet, tropical sub-Saharan Africa positions most
minimal in household income and future during childbirth, and
most astounding in mortality for kids below five years. In
addition, it is the just a single with a negative development rate
between 1980 and 2000. ( talk about how the income is low and
because of this they don’t have access to facilities. This is the
cause of high infant mortality rate)
Risk factors in maternal and child health
The wellbeing of mothers and kids is interrelated and influenced
by various factors. Millions of pregnant mothers, new moms,
and kids encounter extreme ailment or demise every year, to a
great extent from preventable or treatable causes. Almost all
maternal and children mortalities happen in the unclear

circumstance. Attention to maternal and chills wellbeing (MCH)
is ever increasing, under-five and maternal mortality have fallen
considerably since 2000, and enhancing these services is viewed
as basic to cultivating monetary advancement (Group, 2008).
Still, as endeavors concentrate on accomplishing new worldwide
MCH objectives, for example, finishing preventable mortalities
among babies and kids under five and diminishing worldwide
maternal mortality, huge difficulties remain. In spite of the
accessibility of compelling mediations, absence of subsidizing
and constrained access to administrations have hampered
advance, especially on maternal wellbeing (Bhutta et al., 2010).
The U.S. government has a long history of supporting
worldwide MCH endeavors and is the biggest benefactor
government to MCH exercises on the planet, notwithstanding
being the single biggest giver to nourishment endeavors on the
planet. Lately, the United States has set a higher need on
maternal child health services inside the USG worldwide
wellbeing motivation (especially since the U. S implemented
closure preventable infant and maternal mortalities as one of its
three primary worldwide wellbeing objectives) and expanded
subsidizing has been given to bolster maternal child health and
related endeavors.
Current Global Snapshot
Every year, approximately 6 million children below five years
mostly newborn children loose their lives from generally

preventable or treatable conditions. Moreover, around 303,000
ladies kick the bucket amid pregnancy and labor every year, and
millions more experience serious antagonistic outcomes. These
difficulties are particularly common in creating nations, with
huge incongruities amongst creating and created locales in
maternal and under-five mortality. Moreover, sub-Saharan
Africa is the hardest hit district on the planet, trailed by
Southern Asia; together they represent more than 80% of
maternal and under-five mortalities (Bhutta et al., 2010).
Mortality
Maternal mortality: More than a quarter of every single
maternal mortality are because of postpartum haemorrhage, for
the most part after labor. Sepsis is also a cause, risky and
unsafe abortions, preeclampsia and eclampsia are other real
causes. Infections that attack the mothers during pregnancy,
including malaria, anemic conditions, and HIV infections,
represent around about a third of maternal mortalities. Deficient
care amid pregnancy and high fruitfulness rates, regularly
because of an absence of access to contraception and other
family planning methods and services that are accessible to
mothers of reproductive ages, lead to an increase in the numbers
of maternal mortalities (Creanga et al., 2014).
worsening situation in child and maternal health because of
untimely births represent more than a quarter of infant

mortalities, trailed by mortalities during births and neonatal
sepsis. Low birth weight is a noteworthy risk to consider and a
major indirect reason for infant mortalities. Under-five
mortality are due to a wide range of causes including
pneumonia, malaria, diarrhea and some other less common risks
to deaths include measles and HIV/AIDS. Malnutrition and
under-nutrition fundamentally makes the kids' vulnerable to
these childhood conditions, just like it is cause by the absence
of access to clean water and sanitation (Target, 2006)
Maternal, baby and child health results are key to both the
present and future of Ohio. To address health services
challenges and enhance wellbeing results for these vulnerable
groups, the State of Ohio has cooperated with Department of
Health services to actualize research and quality change
programs over the state. The key regions of center incorporate
distinguishing and testing successful models of look after
treating pregnant ladies, enhancing perinatal wellbeing through
quality care change activities went for expanding consistence
with evidenced-based prescribed procedures, and expanding
postpartum clinic attendance rates and type 2 diabetes
screenings for ladies with a background marked by gestational
diabetes(Bhutta et al., 2010).
Maternal and child health programs

Maternal and child health (MCH) programs concentrate on
medical problems concerning mothers, children and families,
for example, access to suitable pre-natal and child welfare
services, baby mortality mitigation initiatives, emergency
medical services, prevention of injuries, infant screening, and
administrations to kids with unique health care needs. United
States put resources into having mothers and families with good
health and trust that it will spare cash by avoiding highly
exorbitant medical conditions and keeping away from the
requirement for related support services that accompany it. (
talk about U.S policies, resources and how they do that and
what the US government do to make women healthy)
Current global and the federal government initiatives and
programs have brought new consideration regarding and
financing for MCH activities. As the international community
attempts to support and finance endeavors to accomplish SDGs
2 and 3's which focuses on targets of MCH and nutrition, key
issues and difficulties for United States endeavors include:
keeping on growing access to and guarantee the nature of
maternal, infant and child health care, while building interstate
initiatives (Bhutta et al., 2010). In the existing controlled
subsidizing environment to access those who are very
vulnerable and supporting advances in research and take-up of
new advances and immunizations thus promote joining of MCH
initiatives with different U.S. worldwide programs, for example

PEPFAR. Other extensive U.S. improvement endeavors, which
incorporate education and food security and organizing these
endeavors with the practices of different sponsors and donor
nations keeping in mind the end goal to expand the effect of
accessible assets.
