National Safe Motherhood day

 NATIONAL SAFE MOTHERHOOD DAY

National Safe Motherhood Day is observed annually on 11 April to raise awareness about the proper healthcare of women and maternity facilities for pregnant and lactating women. This day also focuses on reducing anaemia among women, institutional delivery, better pre and postnatal health care etc. which are necessary for mothers.

This day also raises awareness for the prevention of child marriages because we can say that child marriage may be an indirect cause of maternal deaths. It is the right of every woman to take good quality nutrition and proper healthcare services during and after pregnancy and childbirth. In fact, in India, the government is also taking efforts to reduce the maternal mortality rate but we can't ignore the fact that it is our duty also to take steps for women's healthcare and if needed to educate them.
