UP Govt makes Childbirth Reporting mandatory for Private Hospitals
Lucknow Strengthens Maternal and Child Health Surveillance
Lucknow: In a decisive move to improve maternal and child health monitoring and address gender disparities in birth records, the Lucknow health administration has initiated collecting detailed data on childbirths in private hospitals.
This development follows a directive from Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel, who recently emphasised the need for precise data on childbirths, especially from private healthcare facilities, during a meeting at Raj Bhavan. She instructed officials to ensure the mandatory collection of childbirth-related information from all such institutions.
