Eid al-Adha is a celebration closely associated with togetherness, sharing, and a variety of delicious qurban meat dishes.

The Importance of Pregnancy Screening for Early Detection of Maternal Risks
Pregnancy screening plays a crucial role in the early detection of maternal risks, including anemia, gestational diabetes, and infections such as syphilis. Screening that begins in the first trimester and is performed regularly—following recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Kementerian Kesehatan Republik Indonesia—can help prevent serious complications and improve both maternal and neonatal health outcomes. With the support of fast and practical screening technologies, healthcare professionals—especially midwives—can deliver more effective and efficient care. Therefore, pregnancy screening is not only important but essential in ensuring a safe, healthy, and well-monitored pregnancy.
