&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Improved antenatal care in Meghalaya&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A recent report submitted on March 20 to the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) from the state of Meghalaya showed that 877 newborns, and 61 pregnant women died during the pandemic. The pregnant women decided against hospital delivery out of fear of contracting Covid.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A decade ago, infant mortality in Meghalaya was the same as the all-India average, at 47 deaths per 1000 births. While it has now declined to 34 last year the reduction hasn&amp;rsquo;t kept pace with the national average, which stood at 28.8 last year. Maternal deaths in the state haven&amp;rsquo;t really seen a significant decrease over the last decade. The figure has been fluctuating with 229 deaths in 2011-12, rising to 241 by 2015 and then dropping to 158 by October 2021.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to a statement given to PTI by Aman War, Director of Health Services, Meghalaya, newborns&amp;#39; deaths as well as pregnant mothers&amp;rsquo; deaths could be attributed to other causes, and not the Coronavirus. He added that the health department had instructed hospitals and health centres to admit all patients including pregnant women, even if they came from Covid containment zones.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Health Services Department was unable to provide a current statement on the matter, citing a recent change in staffing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Increasing maternal and infant mortality rates has been one of the major health concerns for Meghalaya. The Maternal and Child Health Protection Policy dictates that &amp;lsquo;birth spacing&amp;rsquo; which refers to the time between two consecutive pregnancies, should not be less than 1000 days, as mentioned in the WHO guidelines, which states - &amp;ldquo;After a live birth, the recommended interval before attempting the next pregnancy is at least 24 months in order to reduce the risk of adverse maternal, perinatal and infant outcomes.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Dr. Partha Borah, Head of Paediatrics and Neonatal Care at Pratiksha Hospital, Guwahati, also spoke about the risk of infections in home deliveries, &amp;ldquo;This is a major concern which also contributes to neonatal deaths.&amp;rdquo; He explained that in a hospital with a hygienic and clean environment, the risk of infections is reduced.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Increasing maternal and infant mortality rates has been one of the major health concerns for Meghalaya. The Maternal and Child Health Protection Policy dictates that &amp;lsquo;birth spacing&amp;rsquo; which refers to the time between two consecutive pregnancies, should not be less than 1000 days, as mentioned in the WHO guidelines, which states - &amp;ldquo;After a live birth, the recommended interval before attempting the next pregnancy is at least 24 months in order to reduce the risk of adverse maternal, perinatal and infant outcomes.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Dr. Partha Borah, Head of Paediatrics and Neonatal Care at Pratiksha Hospital, Guwahati, also spoke about the risk of infections in home deliveries, &amp;ldquo;This is a major concern which also contributes to neonatal deaths.&amp;rdquo; He explained that in a hospital with a hygienic and clean environment, the risk of infections is reduced.&lt;/p&gt;

<p style="text-align:justify"><em>Improved antenatal care in Meghalaya</em></p>

<p style="text-align:justify">A recent report submitted on March 20 to the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) from the state of Meghalaya showed that 877 newborns, and 61 pregnant women died during the pandemic. The pregnant women decided against hospital delivery out of fear of contracting Covid.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">A decade ago, infant mortality in Meghalaya was the same as the all-India average, at 47 deaths per 1000 births. While it has now declined to 34 last year the reduction hasn&rsquo;t kept pace with the national average, which stood at 28.8 last year. Maternal deaths in the state haven&rsquo;t really seen a significant decrease over the last decade. The figure has been fluctuating with 229 deaths in 2011-12, rising to 241 by 2015 and then dropping to 158 by October 2021.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">According to a statement given to PTI by Aman War, Director of Health Services, Meghalaya, newborns&#39; deaths as well as pregnant mothers&rsquo; deaths could be attributed to other causes, and not the Coronavirus. He added that the health department had instructed hospitals and health centres to admit all patients including pregnant women, even if they came from Covid containment zones.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The Health Services Department was unable to provide a current statement on the matter, citing a recent change in staffing.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Increasing maternal and infant mortality rates has been one of the major health concerns for Meghalaya. The Maternal and Child Health Protection Policy dictates that &lsquo;birth spacing&rsquo; which refers to the time between two consecutive pregnancies, should not be less than 1000 days, as mentioned in the WHO guidelines, which states - &ldquo;After a live birth, the recommended interval before attempting the next pregnancy is at least 24 months in order to reduce the risk of adverse maternal, perinatal and infant outcomes.&rdquo;</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Dr. Partha Borah, Head of Paediatrics and Neonatal Care at Pratiksha Hospital, Guwahati, also spoke about the risk of infections in home deliveries, &ldquo;This is a major concern which also contributes to neonatal deaths.&rdquo; He explained that in a hospital with a hygienic and clean environment, the risk of infections is reduced.</p>

It Takes a Village to Birth A Healthy Mom and Baby -Sreya Deb

-TheCitizen.in Improved antenatal care in Meghalaya A recent report submitted on March 20 to the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) from the state of Meghalaya showed that 877 newborns, and 61 pregnant women died during the pandemic. The pregnant women decided against hospital delivery out of fear of contracting Covid. A decade ago, infant mortality in Meghalaya was the same as the all-India average, at 47 deaths per 1000 births. While it has now declined to 34 last year the reduction hasn’t kept pace with the national average, which stood at 28.8 last year. Maternal deaths in the state haven’t really seen a significant decrease over the last decade. The figure has been fluctuating with 229 deaths in 2011-12, rising to 241 by 2015 and then dropping to 158 by October 2021. According to a statement given to PTI by Aman War, Director of Health Services, Meghalaya, newborns' deaths as well as pregnant mothers’ deaths could be attributed to other causes, and not the Coronavirus. He added that the health department had instructed hospitals and health centres to admit all patients including pregnant women, even if they came from Covid containment zones. The Health Services Department was unable to provide a current statement on the matter, citing a recent change in staffing. Increasing maternal and infant mortality rates has been one of the major health concerns for Meghalaya. The Maternal and Child Health Protection Policy dictates that ‘birth spacing’ which refers to the time between two consecutive pregnancies, should not be less than 1000 days, as mentioned in the WHO guidelines, which states - “After a live birth, the recommended interval before attempting the next pregnancy is at least 24 months in order to reduce the risk of adverse maternal, perinatal and infant outcomes.” Dr. Partha Borah, Head of Paediatrics and Neonatal Care at Pratiksha Hospital, Guwahati, also spoke about the risk of infections in home deliveries, “This is a major concern which also contributes to neonatal deaths.” He explained that in a hospital with a hygienic and clean environment, the risk of infections is reduced.
