Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh recorded a fall of 18.6% in institutional deliveries in April, the first month of the COVID-19 lockdown, casting a shadow on an improving trend, National Health Mission (NHM) data show.

Private and government-run health centres recorded 97,881 births in April 2019, around 18.1% more than the previous year.
