Last week we were able to employ a nurse from Pakhanjore, who is BsC qualified, and has authority to deliver babies.
For quite some time now, we have been holding monthly mother and baby camps, during which our team can provide basic checkups, educate, and hand out supplements, medicine, food, and clothes.
However, many of the women in the area will not allow male staff to conduct intimate checkups, and thus often had to be transferred to city hospitals for further treatments.

Thanks to our new team member, nurse Ankita Saha, we are able to simplify this process. The team have already gone out and visited many villages within our reach to go for house visits and check up on pregnant women especially.
Apart from medical checkups, medicines, supplements, and donations of food and clothes, a big goal of our outreach program is to educate.
There are many cases of child marriages, and girls of a very young age are becoming pregnant, which presents a high risk of problems and
risk of fatality of mother and baby. Many women are not taking proper care during pregnancy, some are doing hard physical work. Many are not able to or aware of the importance of eating properly. Often times, their husbands are ignorant about their wive's needs at this time.
