New Brunswick is joining other provinces by adopting a care program to improve the health of mothers and their newborns.
The program is meant to provide quality care, education, information and consultation.
President of the province's Medical Society, Dr. Chris Losier, says it will also give health care workers the opportunity to sit down together on a regular basis and share the best practices.
The province is putting together an advisory committee to help implement the program with representatives from the Horizon Health Network, the Midwifery Council, and the Department of Health.
