Healthcare For Child Birth On CSR Agenda
Child birth is a difficult yet an exciting phase especially for first time parents. It is that precious experience that every couple looks forward to with lots of expectations. However, it is very vital for the child and mother’s health. The duo could face life long ailments if they are not subjected to proper care during the time of childbirth.
The awareness towards the crucialty of the situation is widely spreading in the urban areas with parents opting for updated healthcare options and treatments. However, the situation is not so in villages. The rural first time mothers still rely on midwives to execute childbirth naturally which is not always hygienic to say the least. The child, right after the birth is not provided with proper care which often results in their reduced immunity. The mothers too are subjected to infection in improper post natal treatments which causes them diseases in a longer run.
In order to ensure that proper healthcare is available to the first time parents, Greenlam Industries have partnered with MAMTA health institute.
