A comprehensive and 100% online program, exclusive to TECH, with an international perspective backed by our membership in the National League for Nursing” 

Obstetric and Maternal-Child Nursing is key to improving maternal and neonatal health indicators worldwide. In fact, it is estimated that more than 2 million newborns die each year, often due to preventable causes such as infections or prematurity. For this reason, specialized nurses play an essential role in prenatal care, childbirth assistance, and postnatal follow-up.

This is the basis for the Advanced master’s degree in Obstetric and Maternal-Child Nursing at TECH Global University. From a comprehensive academic approach, the program will cover everything from preconception counseling, where knowledge will be gained to guide women in pregnancy planning, to newborn care and breastfeeding, ensuring continuity of care. In this context, during pregnancy, nurses will be able to identify anatomical and physiological changes, mastering prenatal care strategies and designing educational programs that promote maternal and fetal health. They will also develop key skills in areas such as coordinating multidisciplinary teams, preventing complications, health education, and providing emotional support to the mother in the postpartum period. 

Additionally, this university program will be delivered entirely online, offering professionals the flexibility to train from anywhere and at a time that best suits their needs. Moreover, with the Relearning methodology, they will ensure a deep and effective academic experience, as this approach promotes continuous repetition of key concepts for optimal and organic content absorption.
