Activities of the Reproductive and Child Health Center include:
- Training PRASAD Chikitsa staff in prenatal, natal, neonatal and postnatal care
- Training Accredited Social Health Activists (an enhancement of the former Dai Program)
- Setting up transportation links between remote villages and the nearest medical facilities
- Maintaining a referral system with links to nearby obstetrics facilities, primary health centers, and rural private and government hospitals
- Forming working partnerships and liaisons with other agencies and programs in the field of maternal child care
Since the RCH program began, more than 2,000 women have participated, with tangible, positive results. Among the program’s achievements has been a significant increase in the number of infants whose birth weight exceeds the Indian national average birth weight of 2.7 kg (just under six pounds.)
