Understanding the Materna Virtual Intensive Postpartum Care Program

Updated over 8 months ago

IPC is a form of postpartum healthcare designed to provide a continuation of care for new mothers transitioning from hospital to home. This program is crucial for those recently discharged from maternity wards and requiring sustained comprehensive support.

The IPC program bridges the gap following hospital discharge and caters to mothers facing ongoing challenges during the postpartum period despite receiving regular care. It shifts from managing high-acuity issues in the immediate postpartum phase to fostering improved long-term health outcomes, all through a structured virtual care environment.

Unlike traditional postpartum programs, IPC integrates essential healthcare into daily routines, enabling mothers to receive intensive care without the need for hospital stays. Offering more frequent and in-depth sessions than typical outpatient services, IPC delivers a higher level of care several times a week, ensuring continuous support and accessible, high-quality postpartum care.
