State honours panchayats for zero maternal and infant deaths
Bhopal: The Madhya Pradesh National Health Mission (MP-NHM) celebrated grassroots healthcare workers and community leaders who achieved remarkable results in maternal and child healthcare during a programme on the Independence Day on Friday. Dhakoni Gram Panchayat in Ishagarh block of Ashoknagar district reported zero maternal and infant deaths for two consecutive years in a population of 8,107. This achievement resulted from coordinated efforts by Sarpanch Ramsakhi Kevat, ANM Asha Arode, and ASHA worker Indra Bai Sharma. The team achieved complete antenatal care registration and closely monitored high-risk pregnancies. All births occurred at nearby healthcare facilities, with Janani Express providing transport services, as Dhakoni's Sub Health Centre lacks delivery facilities. ANM Asha Arode, serving since March 2024, explained: "In Dhakoni Panchayat, which includes three villages with a combined population of around 2,200, we've achieved 100 percent ANC registration and zero infant deaths. High-risk pregnancies are referred to. I've been consistently ensuring follow-ups and care, despite the nearest PHC being 10 km away and the district headquarters in Ashoknagar located 30 km from Dhakoni. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite?
