Surrogacy racket: Min Satyakumar Yadav orders review of fertility centres across Andhra Pradesh
VIJAYAWADA: Health Minister Satyakumar Yadav has ordered a thorough review of fertility centres across Andhra Pradesh following reports of irregularities at a facility in Hyderabad. Concerned by discrepancies, the minister instructed officials to examine the functioning of all fertility clinics and submit a detailed report on licensing, inspections, operations, and regulatory compliance. According to official sources, there is a mismatch between the number of fertility centres licensed by District Medical and Health Officers (DMHOs) and those listed online, suggesting the presence of unauthorised facilities. Minister Yadav reminded that DMHOs are responsible for issuing licences and overseeing daily operations of hospitals and fertility centres. He warned of strict action against clinics operating without valid licences or violating health protocols. The minister called for a district-wise report detailing licensed and unlicensed centres, inspections conducted in 2024–25, violations found, complaints received, actions taken, and centres denied permission. Urgency intensified after a surprise inspection at Universal Health Care Centre in Vijayawada by NTR District DMHO Dr Suhasini. The centre, sanctioned under the name Namrata, was closed, and its doctor was recently arrested for alleged violations. A preliminary report was submitted to the minister's office.

Stress on medical check-ups to avoid maternal deaths
Eluru: District collector K Vetriselvi said that regular medical check-ups should be conducted on the health condition of pregnant women, and health personnel should work to prevent maternal and infant deaths by informing mothers about the importance of nutrition, hospital deliveries, newborn care, and complementary feeding. She unveiled the World Population Day 2025 poster under the auspices of the District Medical and Health Department at the Collectorate here on Monday. Speaking on the occasion, she said the right age to become a mother is 21 years for women. A healthy time and space between pregnancies is very important for planned motherhood. She urged couples expected to become parents to think that if a healthy gap is followed between pregnancies, there is a chance of giving birth to healthy children. District Joint Collector P Dhatri Reddy, District Medical Health Officer Dr PJ Amrutha, DCHS Dr Paul Satish, NTR Medical Service Coordinator Dr Rajiv, SO N Anand Kumar, ASO M Kishore, and others participated in the programme.
