New Delhi: The health ministry has identified four medical institutes which will act as regional centres and train people in tracking maternal deaths and taking steps to prevent them.
The institutes--MGIMS Wardha, Institute of OBGYN, Chennai, KGMU Lucknow and Guwahati Medical College, Assam-- were identified during a national workshop on Strengthening Maternal Death Surveillance Response (MDSR) and Maternal Near Miss (MNM) Review held recently.
Development partners like the WHO, the UNICEF will also be involved in various activities of implementation of guidelines.
The processes of the MDSR and the MNM together help in tracking maternal deaths and understanding their underlying causes. They also stimulate and guide actions to prevent deaths in future.
Sensitisation and orientation of participants towards this thought was the central theme of the workshop, an official statement said.
