| Description | The World Health Organization (WHO) is in the process of revising and updating its guidance on postpartum and postnatal care delivered by skilled providers. The purposes of revision are to encourage and support broader provision of care and to foster a new, woman-centered concept of care that promotes health as well as maintains vigilance against dangerous complications. In October 2008 an expert consultation took place in Geneva to advise WHO on the coverage, form and content for revised and updated guidance. This meeting, which is documented here, prepared for an upcoming technical consultation to develop the guidance itself.
