Male Involvement in Postnatal care

Male’s participation in postnatal care is influenced by sociocultural, socioeconomic, and health facility factors; therefore, healthcare providers and policymakers should design and implement interventions that address these factors. These interventions should seek to foster an environment conducive to the active participation of males in postnatal care.Besides, it is essential to involve community leaders, religious institutions, and local organisations when promoting the significance of masculine participation in postnatal care. These key stakeholders can encourage males to take an active role in their spouse’s and child’s health by shifting societal attitudes and norms regarding gender roles.
