Improved quality of prenatal care (ANC), timely screening of high risk pregnancy, monthly advice and watching ANC visits, telephone contact for high -risk mother during the 8th and 9 months of pregnancy and compulsory three -day stay in hospital after natural birth and five to seven days after the Carnataka section.
Experts carried out the death of mothers in the State between April and December 2024 and issued several recommendations on the basis of the finding in the report submitted to the government.
The report states that each prenatal mother should be monitored and defeated for at least one AC visit between 2 and 7 months of pregnancy and two visits in the 8th month and weekly visits in the 9th month. In addition, it recommends that high -risk mothers contact the status of their health within the 8th and 9th months to determine the status of their health.
Experts said that the primary health care team kept by a doctor should carry out plans for birth with all pregnant women after consulting a obstetrician in nearby community medical centers at the level of Taluk or district. These plans should include the necessary logistics such as the transport arrangement, either through 108 or other local transport options.
The report states that all public health facilities should maintain mothers in hospitals for ordered days after delivery and also advise them on medicines and follow the visits at the time of release.
Since the anemia is one of the most common disorders of pregnant women, the report suggests the administration of the right dose of iron sucrose or carboxymaltose of ferric (FCM) to repair medium and heavy anemia.
“The report has provided us with 27 recommendations and we have already started the implementation of some of them. We provide women with high -risk pregnancies compulsorily consulted with higher experts. We also get FCM for repairing anemia and other necessary test kits,” said Dinesh Gunda Rao, Minister of Health.
Intravenous ringtone at 18 deaths
A team of medical experts was created after a series of mothers’ death in Ballari in November last year. When deaths occurred, it was found that the common factor was intravenous ringtone from Paschim Banga Pharmaceuticals in all of them. The company was later on the black list of the Karnataka Government.
Between April 2024 and December 2024, the team suspects that in all these cases 18 maternal deaths were used due to endotoxins and intravenous ringtone.
