“Ensuring quality services for safe motherhood” is the theme for 2012 National Safe Motherhood Day. Launching the celebrations from Jaipur on 11th April to 12th April 2012, the Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Shri Sudip Bandyopadhyay said women are strong pillars of any vibrant society. “Sustained development of the country can be achieved only if we take holistic care of our women and children. Maternal and child mortality and morbidity indicators reflect not only how well the health system is functioning, but also the degree of equity in public service delivery, utilisation of services, the social status of women and our concern for children”, observed the Minister.
