Why strategy had to be changed: • MMR 25, IMR 10 by 2023 is target set by our vision document. • High risk Non acceptors had to be brought in to the system , shift from population stabilization strategy to RMNCH +A strategy. The DFW needs this fundamental reorientation to shift from target based to maternal and child health related interventions. • 7.9 % HOB contributes 25% of MMR • Lack of spacing directly contributing to MMR, IMR and other morbidities. • The best way to tackle high risk non acceptors is to counsel them when they are in the health facilities. (99.9% institutional deliveries). The most receptive period in non acceptors is during this period.
Strategy contd.. • Imparting tubectomy training and life saving skill in anaesthesia trained MBBS doctors which has been a key strategy in implementation of PPS even at the level of CHC . • PPIUCD doesn’t require repeat visit to the facility, and state is looking at strengthening MVA/MMA as a logical corollary to PPIUCD as an RMNCH+A strategy. Over the counter abortifacients has been a signifanct contributor to MMR about 1%. • 100 block strategy is being implemented by having specific action plans for blocks. (Reasons were as varied as unmet , religious , etc)
