Maternal Care and Accountability
The Deputy CM prioritized maternal health, mandating 100% registration and regular check-ups for pregnant women to identify high-risk cases early. He stressed the importance of cleanliness and ensuring adequate drug availability. Shri Shukla directed the formation of a committee to transparently audit the use of government funds for hospital infrastructure and warned that negligence or indifference will not be tolerated.
