I he Division of Maternal and Child Health (MCH) promotes and safeguards the health of all Kentuckians, with an emphasis on at-risk mothers, infants, children, and adolescents. The division's goal is to help those at risk of adverse health effects achieve the highest level of health and wellness possible through public health surveillance, education, nutrition, perinatal care, early childhood promotion and intervention, well-child care, injury prevention, coordinated school health, and selected primary and preventive care activities.

The Surveillance and Evaluation Branch is responsible for public health surveillance systems including the Neonatal Abstinence Reporting, Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System, and the Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Registry. The Kentucky Birth Surveillance Registry, which is required by KRS 211.651-.670, identifies children in Kentucky who are at risk for serious medical conditions and developmental delays, and works closely with the Newborn Screening and Case Management program to ensure infants get appropriate and timely follow-up to mitigate adverse outcomes, and in some cases, prevent early death.
