Multi-sectoral approach is needed

The first twenty eight days of life are the most vulnerable period for newborns. Even with neonatal mortality declining by half since 1990 globally, it is worth addressing the basics. Emphasis must be on providing care for the mother and the child around the time of birth. Maternal care, specifically labour and delivery care (responsible for a quarter of deaths globally) and other high-impact interventions on the day of the birth can significantly reduce neonatal mortality. Yet, less than a tenth of mothers who see skilled providers receive eight key interventions.

Neonatal mortality is twice the rate for mothers with no education as compared to mothers with secondary and higher education, with neonates born to the youngest and oldest mothers being the most vulnerable.
Morbidity in neonates and mothers, can be reduced by improving nutrition, sanitation and hygiene, most importantly for the crucial thousand days from conception. Pneumonia, diarrhoea and malaria remain the major killers. A multi-sectoral approach is needed, indicators are known, common metrics are called for and targets are within reach. Prevention counts on the basics.

Rekha Bhargava Ex-Secretary GoI

Whispers is the only website available for CGHS grievances

This is hard to believe as the concerned unions can surely make proper representations to the Ministry and if need be to the PMO.

We cannot keep endlessly writing in this Forum ( so many years) when there is absolutely no result in any case so far.

The limited space available in this Forum needs to be used for larger issue discussions, not just grievances all the time.
