MP Health Officials Push 100% Antenatal Registration
In Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, health officials had a meeting to talk about how to take better care of moms and babies.
They want every pregnant woman to sign up for check-ups and go to all her doctor visits.
They also want to make sure high-risk moms get extra care.
The officials will visit areas where fewer women are signing up to find out why and fix the problem.
They will use a computer system to keep track of all the moms and babies.
They also want to test babies and kids for a condition called anemia and help those who need it.
Everyone, including local workers, will work together to make sure all moms and babies are healthy.
District Health Committee instructed health officers to ensure 100% antenatal care (ANC) registration for pregnant women in Jabalpur.
CEO Abhishek Gehlot emphasized the importance of regular check-ups to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates.
Health officials were directed to focus on high-risk pregnancies and areas with low registration rates.
Every registration must be entered into a portal for tracking and managing health services for pregnant women, newborns, and lactating mothers.
Anemia testing for newborns and children was ordered, with proper management for severely anemic children.
