IMR Still on Jinx at Interior Tribal Pockets of Gajapati

Bhagabat Padhi,Odishabarta

Paralakhemundi:Government is trying to upgrade health standard particularly on mother & child health care where role of anganwadi & grassroot health workers are not properly monitored. Nor nutritional care of pregnant women & post-natal nutrition care are missing. This is due to lack of nutritional food security in those interior areas.

Lack of health check up for mothers and new born babies too in dire strait. At CHCs lack of attentions by doctors too seen.

Recently at Gundisahi of RUdayagiri block on 13th a child was born but due to lack of care & attention that child died on 18th.So also at Akhadasahi,near Gundisahi; same situation marked ,where one Babula Nayak’s wife delivered a baby but due to lack of care that baby too died. These 2 cases stringing on negligence.

on health services for ante natal & post natal care mothers & new born babies. Instead of getting untraditional attention rather they depend on forest produced crops & even hardly getting nutritional food.

More vivid scenes seen in villages like Jada, Jadapani,Dalikhata, Akhada,Gundisahi such interior parts where health services hardly reaching.It is imminent to send task force as strict vigil to check further diminishing health status by health department & administration too.
