Gautam Budh Nagar Boosts Maternal Health & Vaccination
14 Aug
Summary
- Health workers must maintain detailed records for vaccine-hesitant families.
- Focus on preventing delays in benefits for pregnant women under Janani Suraksha Yojana.
- District health department also targets multidrug-resistant TB patients and HPV vaccination.
The Gautam Budh Nagar health department has instructed its workers to maintain detailed beneficiary records for proactive follow-up with vaccine-hesitant families and pregnant women. This initiative aims to ensure timely vaccination and essential maternal health services.
As part of the Vaccine Avoidance Behaviour (VAB) program, health sub-centres will create line lists of hesitant families, with block response teams actively engaging in areas with a high concentration of such cases. Medical officers will conduct weekly reviews to achieve 100% progress.
To prevent delays in benefits for pregnant women under the Janani Suraksha Yojana, ASHA workers will assist in opening bank accounts during antenatal care registration. ANMs and nursing staff will verify beneficiary documents and bank details throughout the process, uploading them to the MaNTra portal.
The department is also intensifying monitoring for patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and striving for 100% HPV vaccination coverage among eligible girls through scheduled U-WIN sessions. Strengthening health and wellness centres and ensuring the availability of essential medicines and ambulance services are also key priorities.
