The activity formally started on 01-05-2000. All pregnant women attending our clinic are being informed about the presence of Antenatal centers in the city and they are encouraged to visit such free government centers for antenatal booking and delivery.
They are being informed about the importance of;
(a) Diet during Pregnancy
(b) Regular Blood pressure checkups

(e) Hb % determination
(f) Blood /Urine Sugar and Urine Albumin checkup
