Dr. Madhu Gupta, Assistant Professor of Community Medicine, School of Public Health, PGIMER told that about 215 pregnant women die per lakh live births every year in India, and most of these deaths are preventable.

The audience responded enthusiastically during the discussion after the role play. Sh. Ram Singh Saini, Social worker from local area enlightened the audience about various facilities available for pregnant women like free ambulance service by dialing 108, Rs 4000 available under Indira Gandhi Matritva Sahyog Yojna and free delivery with care of the newborn under Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakarm.
