The BC Perinatal Health Program works in collaboration with health authorities, professional organizations and care providers and other key stakeholders in achieving our initiatives.

In support of the program’s mission, the BCPHP provides consultation and education for health professionals across the province who provide care for mothers and babies. The program also collects information on all deliveries and births in British Columbia for the purpose of evaluating birth outcomes in the province.
