Shillong : Meghalaya Governor V.Shanmuganathan today inaugurated the launch of the Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan (PMSMA) in the East Khasi Hills District of Meghalaya at a programme organised by the office of the District Medical & Health Officer, East Khasi Hills District, under the aegis of the National Health Mission at St. Jerome School, Nongmensong in the city.

The PMSMA Scheme is a new initiative of the central government aimed at boosting the health care facilities for pregnant women especially the poor. The scheme provides that pregnant women would be given health check-up and required treatment for free on the 9th of every month in all government hospitals and health centres across India.

Expressing concern over the high Maternal Mortality Rate in the state of Meghalaya, the Governor in his speech called upon all stake holders including the government, social and religious organisations, youth bodies and the general public to come together to ensure safe and secure delivery of children.

The Governor also impressed upon the pregnant women in attendance at the programme to visit hospitals and other health care institutions like PHCs, CHCs etc during the early stages of pregnancy in order to avoid complications during and after delivery.
