Six Successful Deliveries within 15 Hours
All Six Newborns are Healthy; Initial Vaccinations Administered after Health Check-up
Healthcare Services Strengthened Across the District, Expansion in Progress
Raipur, 23rd September 2024/ Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai’s determination to improve healthcare facilities in the state, along with the public welfare initiatives by Health Minister Shri Shyam Bihari Jaiswal, has begun yielding positive results in Chhattisgarh. Residents now have access to various medical facilities close to their homes in government hospitals. The state is witnessing continuous growth in healthcare infrastructure, and the encouraging outcomes are evident. As part of this progress, six successful deliveries were conducted at the Community Health Centre in Deobhog. Through the diligent efforts of the medical team, six healthy newborns were brought into the world. After thorough health examinations, all infants were promptly administered the necessary vaccinations.
Between 1:30 PM on 21st September and 3:00 PM on 22nd September, six safe deliveries were performed within a span of 15 hours at the Deobhog Community Health Centre. Notably, four deliveries were completed in the first hour and a half alone. The successful delivery of six babies within 15 hours is a significant achievement for the district. The medical team at the health centre expressed joy and celebrated their success by encouraging one another. Under the guidance and supervision of Chief Medical and Health Officer Dr. Gargi Yadu Pal, the doctors developed a strategic approach, playing a key role in the successful deliveries. District Collector Shri Deepak Agarwal extended his congratulations to the doctors and the medical staff, encouraging them to continue providing exemplary healthcare services. He also praised the medical team for their diligence and dedication in delivering quality healthcare services with sincerity and responsibility.
It is noteworthy that healthcare services are being actively provided not only in urban areas but also in the remote forested regions of the state. Primary and community health centres located in villages have been equipped with essential healthcare services, including necessary medical tests and free medication, ensuring that the rural population benefits from these services. The doctors and medical teams are working proactively, instilling confidence in people to seek treatment at government hospitals. As a result, residents now have easy access to basic healthcare services at government facilities near their villages. Additionally, periodic health camps are organised to provide necessary check-ups and treatment in remote forest villages.
There is also an active initiative to conduct prenatal health check-ups and vaccinations for pregnant women, while lactating mothers are provided with essential nutritional supplements. These efforts have created mass awareness regarding institutional deliveries, contributing to the achievement of healthcare targets. Every month, on the 9th and 24th, ‘Pregnancy Day’ is observed, during which expectant mothers undergo comprehensive health check-ups and are encouraged to opt for institutional deliveries.
