Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Contemporary perinatal care faces dynamically evolving clinical, technological, and organizational challenges. Advances in maternal–fetal medicine, neonatology, medical technologies, and healthcare organization models create new opportunities to improve the safety and quality of care provided to pregnant women, fetuses, and newborns. This Special Issue integrates perspectives from obstetrics, neonatology, community midwifery, public health, and e-health, presenting innovation as a key component in building an integrated, family-centered perinatal care system.
This Special Issue aims to present the latest innovations in perinatal care, encompassing the continuum of care for women and children, from the prenatal period through childbirth and postpartum care. Particular emphasis will be placed on clinical, technological, organizational, and psychosocial solutions that enhance safety, continuity of care, patient experience, and health outcomes for mothers and newborns.
Authors are encouraged to submit original research articles, review papers, and clinical studies that provide new evidence and practical insights relevant to the continued improvement of perinatal care.
