Health Department Organizes Special Health Check-up Camp for Pregnant Women under Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan

 

Under the guidance of Civil Surgeon Fatehgarh Sahib, Dr. Davinderjit Kaur, the Health Department organized special health check-up camps for pregnant women at various health institutions in the district as part of the Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan. During the camp, Senior Medical Officer Dr. Kanwaldeep Singh briefed about the importance of regular health check-ups for pregnant women. Dr. Davinderjit Kaur said that under the scheme, pregnant women are provided with free health services, including Antenatal Check-ups (ANC), on the 9th and 23rd of every month. The main objective of these camps is to provide special health facilities to pregnant women, identify high-risk pregnancies, conduct necessary tests, monitor blood pressure, and plan for institutional deliveries. A healthy mother can give birth to a healthy child, and this can help reduce maternal and infant mortality rates. Dr. Davinderjit Kaur emphasized that many pregnant women in the country lose their lives due to lack of proper care during pregnancy. The Health Department organizes such camps to identify high-risk pregnancies and provide timely interventions to reduce risks.
