To ensure the birth of a healthy child, it is necessary to pay attention to the following:
- It is important to avoid early marriage and immediate childbearing.
- Preventing marriages between close relatives.
- The ideal age for marriage should be 21-22 years for women and 23-25 years for men.
- The age gap between children should be at least 3 years, as the mother's body needs time to recover
