Reproductive & Child health programme

More than 3,500 children (under the age of 5) die every day in India, amounting to 1.3 million deaths in a year. What’s worse, five women die every hour in India from complications developed during childbirth, contributing to 45,000 maternal deaths annually. Sadly, most of these deaths are preventable owing to timely health interventions and treatments. India is losing its young mothers and children to some treatable conditions such as anaemia, haemorrhage and sepsis among mothers and diarrhoea, respiratory infections and fever among children.
India faces some incredible targets under Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), whereby it has to reduce MMR (Maternal Mortality Ratio) from 167/100,000 live births in 2013 to 70 by 2030; reduce NNMR (Neo-natal Mortality Rate) to 12/1000 live births & U5MR (Under Five Mortaility Rate) to 25 by 2030 from IMR (Infant Mortality Rate) of 40 in 2013.
ARADHYA has been contributing towards improving Maternal & Child Healthcare by spreading awareness on pregnancy & newborn care, facilitating antenatal care services, institutional deliveries, postnatal care, need for exclusive breastfeeding, immunization services as well as diarrhea management among children.
