Chandigarh held its first “Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan”(PMSMA), at EWS Dhanas. The beneficiaries were informed about the activity during the IEC activities in the last 2-3 days. There was a good turnover of the beneficiaries. The Antenatal checkup was done by Medical Officers of EWS Dhanas and Mani Majra. The basic investigations of blood and urine were also carried out. All the pregnant women were counselled about Care during pregnancy, Nutrition, Importance of institutional deliveries, child Care etc.
