The audit of maternal mortality rate (MMR) is a must for every district in Chhattisgarh, National Health Mission Director Dr Priyanka Shukla said here on Saturday.
Chairing a review meeting on MMR, Shukla, also the Director of Health and Family Welfare Department, told officials to initiate steps for increasing institutional delivery.
She asked officers to sort out shortcomings found in the audit and asked district Chief Medical and Health Officers to submit suggestions to improve maternal health.
Shukla asked CMHOs to ensure good care of pregnant ladies with anaemia.
She said that primary health centres should have records of pregnant women and that they should be encouraged to go for institutional delivery.
