We are pleased to share the release of Public Health Agency of Canada’s (PHAC) Chapter 8: Organization of Services and the Epilogue of the updated Family-Centred Maternity and Newborn Care: National Guidelines on August 10, 2022. The guidelines are dedicated to improving and creating consistency in maternal and newborn health and to inform evidence-based practice across Canada. The aim of the guidelines is to positively impact health from preconception to postpartum, and throughout the life course of children and families.
