antenatal care

Before 2013, only one in ten women received their complete antenatal care (ANC). But by the end of 2018, all pregnant women in this small hill town complete all six ANCs even if they choose not to deliver their baby at the centre.

An Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM) is often the first point of contact between a health centre and a mother or expectant mother in India. She takes care of activities as basic as registration of pregnant women to more advanced interventions like routine immunization, identifying medical complications and providing referrals. An ANM has a lot of responsibilities and this simple, mobile-based intervention, Suyojana, enables her to effectively carry out her duties.
