Assam Sees Sharp Drop in Maternal Mortality, Healthcare Improves

Imagine that in 2006, many mothers in Assam were sadly passing away during childbirth.

The government then worked hard to make things better by building more hospitals and training doctors.

They also encouraged women to give birth in hospitals instead of at home, and worked to prevent early marriages.

Because of these efforts, fewer mothers are dying now.

The number of mothers dying has dropped dramatically, making Assam one of the states with the biggest improvements in maternal health.

The government plans to keep building more hospitals to help even more mothers and babies stay healthy.
