Pregnant women to get free check-ups at govt hospitals
The government on Friday launched a scheme to provide free health check-ups to pregnant women at government health centres and hospitals. The Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan – popularly known as 'I pledge for 9' – scheme invites the private sector to provide free ante-natal care to pregnant women on the 9th of every month on a voluntary basis.
