Looking Ahead……. • A Dai on an average conducting about 10 deliveries a year • Considered as “Dharam nu Kam”, Not much Monetary Gain • About 25 % of villages have now less than 15 % home Delivery (only 2 – 3 Delivery a year) • No Dai in about 20 % of villages at present • About 25 Arogya Sakhis in remote villages have started conducting deliveries and were given formal training • Direct Role in Prenatal Care, Post natal Care both for mother and New Born baby and expanded role continues, birth companion during delivery

  28. Looking Ahead……. Birth companion during delivery ? Worth Debating…… • Why not Normal Delivery be Conducted Safely and Cleanly in the Conducive Environment at Home by A Skilled Person like A DAI ? IF…… • She can timely identify delivery complications … • Transport Network in place for prompt referral of a complicated case …..and • Back up Support of a Functopnal FRU providing CEmONC is in Place..
