Abstract
During the past 50 years an organized public effort has been made to bring available resources into action for the protection of health of mothers and children. Every state in the union has been helped with federal funds to develop units of their state health departments under medical direction, and to strengthen and support such services. The generic term covering this effort is "maternal and child health." Yet today one may still occasionally hear even pediatric and obstetric residents ask what maternal and child health—or colloquially, MCH –means.
