A few months ago, we introduced you to a fantastic high-risk pregnancy antenatal care program GPM started for tribal women and their babies. Today we are proud to present a wonderful update on the program that we call “Aai Surakshit, Bal Surakshit” or “Mother Safe, Baby Safe:
First, we hired female technicians who were trained and are now experts in the high-risk pregnancy management and wireless diagnostic kits that measure fetal movement and mothers’ health indicators. The equipment allows doctors and nurses to monitor pregnancies remotely from anywhere, at any time.
These technicians go out every day to tribal villages and meet the mothers and evaluate their conditions during pregnancy. The technicians were trained with their GPM supervisors and others on our medical team.
Second, we liaised with government medical officers and received protocols and training so that our team can work hand-in hand with existing government clinics and upload medical data to the department of health site for easy access by doctors and nurses. The staff were trained in using a specially designed app that allows doctors and health care providers to monitor mother's health from afar while providing the best fetal monitoring experience possible.
Third, we made an extensive survey of all pregnant women in all 59 villages in our district. We registered new pregnancies, uploaded our data to the system and received instructions from doctors as to which patients need more attention by our medical teams.
At GPM we are so excited to be able to offer this service for tribal women and their babies. We hope to see a great reduction in maternal deaths and an increase in the births of healthy babies in our district!
We invite you to support the Mother Safe, Baby Safe program and save lives today:
