Rupnagar, June 9: On the occasion of completion of 10 years of the Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Matratva Abhiyan being run by the government, special health check-up camps are being organized in the health institutions of the district for pregnant women to strengthen the health of pregnant women in Rupnagar district. Under this campaign, a free check-up camp was organized for pregnant women at Civil Hospital Rupnagar today.
On this occasion, Civil Surgeon Rupnagar Dr. Raman Gupta informed that on June 9, special camps are being organized in government health institutions of the district by doctors specializing in women’s diseases for complete health check-up of pregnant women. He said that today, health check-up of 763 pregnant women was done in government health institutions.
He said that the main objective of this campaign is to monitor the health of women during pregnancy on a regular basis and to identify any risks in advance and provide appropriate treatment.
Dr. Raman Gupta appealed to all pregnant women to actively participate in these camps. He said, “The health of the mother and the child is our top priority. Timely check-ups can not only prevent complications but also save the lives of the mother and the child.”
The Civil Surgeon said that during this camp, several free health services were provided to pregnant women, including complete pregnancy check-up, ultrasound, blood test, blood pressure and sugar check-up, tetanus vaccination as per requirement, distribution of iron-folic acid and calcium tablets and provision of de-worming tablets.

This has significantly reduced the maternal and child mortality rate and ensured safe pregnancy and delivery. On this occasion, the pregnant women who came to the camp were given refreshments. He said that the Health Department is also taking special efforts to make people aware so that these services can reach every pregnant woman.
On this occasion, Dr. Neeraj, a specialist in gynecology, said that “A healthy mother is the foundation of a healthy family and society,” hence every woman should undergo regular check-ups during her pregnancy.
