Notably, the district administration had launched the ‘Matrujyoti’, one of the major transformative initiatives for the development of women and child, in October last year.
The transformative initiative facilitates four ultrasound tests to every pregnant woman in the district. The service is being provided at 8 state-run health centres and 41 affiliated private ultrasound clinics in the district.
The Asha and Anganwadi workers take the pregnant women with them for the ultrasound tests and consult to the doctors.
