The Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Dayanand Medical College and Hospital, has launched a dedicated antenatal care facility for pregnant women with the objective of promoting safe motherhood through awareness, education and compassionate care.
A specially designed informational booklet focusing on maternal and antenatal care was unveiled during the launch of the ‘Swasth Rahein Aap, Muskurate Rahein Saath’ facility.
The initiative will be led by Dr Ashima Taneja, Professor and Head Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, DMCH, and Gauri Chhabra, Process Consultant, DMCH.
