ABSTRACT

Regardless of the country, locality, or region in which they live, women are generally regarded as the more submissive gender in society. There are critical phases in a woman’s life, including pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Women of the H’Mong ethnic group also experience these stages, but due to their residence in remote and challenging areas with traditional practices, postpartum healthcare often lacks essential resources and may pose life-threatening risks. In the following article, the research team highlights the importance of addressing postpartum health for H’Mong women, provides an overview of postpartum health, examines the current state of postpartum healthcare for H’Mong women, identifies existing limitations, and proposes solutions to enhance postpartum care for this ethnic minority.

KEYWORDS:

healthcare, women, postpartum, H’mong ethnic minority, Vietnam
