Vizianagaram tops in mother, child tracking

April 05, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 05:48 am IST - VIZIANAGARAM:

Vizianagaram has gained the first position in the State for uploading data pertaining to pregnant women under the mother and child tracking system, according to District Collector M.M. Naik. The system enables health officials to monitor the health chart of women and address problems like malnutrition and anaemia.

“The achievement was possible owing to interaction with mandal and cluster-level officials on a regular basis,” the Collector said.

Expressing happiness over the fall in maternal mortality rate in the district, Mr. Naik directed medical officers to update immunisation data online.
