One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Preconception counselling and care

Preconception counselling and care equips women and couples with knowledge and skills to optimise health before pregnancy. It covers risk assessment, lifestyle modification, medical optimisation, and family planning, which are vital for reducing adverse pregnancy outcomes and are frequently examined in the NUC CCMAS, NBTE, and NCCE exams.
