Minister claims 'significant progress' in infant and maternity care

The National Women & Infants Health Programme (NWIHP) was established in the HSE to lead the management, organisation and delivery of maternity, gynaecology and neonatal services.

“Significant progress” was made in infant and maternity care in 2021, despite the challenges of Covid-19, the Health Minister has said.

Findings in the annual report for the National Women & Infants Health Programme (NWIHP) for 2021, launched on Tuesday, highlight many welcome, if sometimes modest, achievements.
