Perspectives
Having this article published gives me great professional satisfaction since preconception care is a topic close to my heart and one I have desired to research on for over 2 decades of my career. It's my hope that this article will motivate the health professionals who come across it to promote preconception care with an aim of increasing its uptake for the welfare of all women of reproductive age.
