Collector Orders Urgent Measures to Reduce Maternal, Infant Deaths

A district official reviewed five maternal deaths from last year.

She asked doctors and health workers to find out why the deaths happened.

She said pregnant women should receive regular check-ups and scans.

They should also get nutritious food and treatment for anaemia.

Mothers with risky pregnancies should be sent to hospitals early.

Officials were told to help women reach safe places for delivery.

New mothers should learn how to care for themselves after childbirth.

These steps are meant to protect mothers and babies.
