EHA

The project aims to reduce the mortality among women and children in Seohara Block of Bijnor. This is the 2nd year of the project in Seohara.  Over the year, the project worked closely with the government health centres, block offices and the Integrated child development office (Bal Vikas) to help the communities avail these facilities, and improve their health. The project created awareness about the various government schemes available for the communities' health and development. The government health workers were also strengthened. The planning & networking with the health centres helped the pregnant women and children to access prenatal checkups and routine immunization respectively.

The project enabled the communities to address the problem of birth registration of new born babies in the rural villages in the government health centres. It initiated birth plan for every pregnant mother and encouraged the families to take them for institutional delivery. The interpersonal communication between the staff and the communities helped individuals to be motivated about TT, routine immunization, breastfeeding practices etc. School health teaching also increased health sensitivity among children.
