The Faculty of Health Care Studies is running a project Supporting Healthy Pregnancy, Childbirth, Breastfeeding and Self-Care, which is designed primarily for pregnant and breastfeeding women, women planning pregnancy and future midwives. The project's principal investigator is the Vice-Dean for Internal and External Relations of the Faculty of Health Care Studies Alena Lochmannová, and the expert guarantor is gynaecologist Lukáš Prajka. The lectures include topics related to increasing health literacy of the target groups, especially in the area of lifestyle during pregnancy and motherhood and in connection with breastfeeding. The project also focuses on prevention through educational activities and prevention of risky behaviour during pregnancy and motherhood.

Out of the 11 lectures planned, three have already been delivered. The first lecture, Mother's movement during pregnancy and in the postpartum period, was held on 27 May under the guidance of Ilona Zahradnická. In June, two lectures have been held so far, namely the lecture Care of the scar after a caesarean section under the guidance of lecturer Iva Hereitová, which took place on 3 June, and Physiotherapy methods suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women under the guidance of lecturer Ilona Zahradnická, which took place on 10 June. The lecturers thus passed on their knowledge and experience to the audience, who always left enriched and educated in the context of the lectured professional topic.
