Preconception care is recognized as a critical
component of health care for women of reproductive
age. The main goal of preconception care is to
provide health promotion, screening and
interventions for women of reproductive age to
reduce risk factors that might affect future
pregnancies. Through a two-year collaborative
effort, CDC has successfully aligned the efforts of
a number of its external partners and internal
programs to develop a set of 10 recommendations for
improving preconception health and care. These
recommendations serve as a strategic plan for
improving the health of women, their children, and
their families.
