According to the news published in the affiliate website www.zeebiz.com/hindi, PGI's Medical Superintendent Prof. AK Gupta said that since the government has made this facility free in the district hospitals, it has also been released here too. According to estimates, complex cases of about 490 delivery are done in 1 month in PGI. Gupta said that all these delivery cases were complex, so their number is less than the delivery case in the district hospital.

AK Gupta said that now the hospital will bear the expenses of pregnancy-related matters. Every type of delivery is free in the district hospitals under the Janani Shishu Suraksha Yojana (JSSK). This was done in view of the increase in infant mortality rates. Currently, the infant mortality rate is 56 thousand annually.

Under this scheme, not only is the delivery case free, but also the charge of medicine and other goods is not taken. Along with this, the food is also given free to the mother. If the donor needs blood, then there was also no charge.
