In an exclusive interview with TheRightDoctors on Emcure AICOG tv, Jaideep Malhotra, President Elect of FOGSI 2018, stated some initiatives by FOGSI on improving the maternal health. This is what she said.
"Women play the most important in a preventive role not only the family, but also in the health of the nation so looking after her health empowering her, respecting her is the only way to take her and the nation to the top.
The first program, is Adbhut Matritva. Now this program is all about making motherhood of a very unique and incredible experience for the patients. this is a very unique module which start with preconception counselling then in the antenatal period
It looks after all the aspects of pregnancy starting from first trimester what should be done, what should you expect, how many visits you should actually you know dedicate towards your antenatal period and how many times you should to the doctor, what immunization is required , What kind of diet in the first trimester, then modification in the second trimester and third trimesterand what exercises has to be done, little bit of yoga and meditation which is very important
We did a survey and we found out that only about 30% of the doctors basically, early initiation of breastfeeding is there and that is very important aspect, so we have join hands with the breastfeeding promotion network of India. We have joined with the PSI. PSI will take care of the contraception post-delivery
The neuropsychology of the child is important. Why a certain child behaves in a certain manner? All is decided in utero. So women must be as calm as possible, look after your health as much as possible, eat the right things, you know take the immunization on time, go to the doctor on time.
Second important program, which we are taken up called Manyata. Manyata is about accreditation of the hospitals. Most of our hospitals are not accredited and once they are not accredited the right kind of evidence based practices are not there. "
