Maternal and child health indicators define the health of entire nations — and specialists in this field are always in demand. This online Advanced PG Diploma (up to 24 months, 60 ECTS) from JLI Switzerland covers MNCH programme planning, nutrition, skilled birth attendance, and child survival strategies. Graduates work with UNICEF, WHO, national MCH programmes, and humanitarian organisations.
The curriculum covers the continuum of MCH care from pre-pregnancy through early childhood, addressing antenatal care, labour and delivery, postnatal care, breastfeeding, childhood immunisation, management of childhood illness, and adolescent health — with a strong focus on global best practice and evidence-based guidelines. Students gain skills in MNCH programme design, monitoring and evaluation, community-based intervention, and health system strengthening for MCH outcomes, drawing on examples from both high-income and low-resource settings. The programme also addresses the SDGs, global targets for maternal and child mortality reduction, and the role of equity and social determinants in MCH outcomes. Self-paced and fully online, this diploma is ideal for nurses, midwives, community health workers, and programme managers working in MCH who wish to deepen their public health expertise.
