Why This Kind of Scheme is Important in India:
Muthu Lakshmi Reddy Maternity Benefit Scheme was implemented to achieve 100% institutional deliveries in Tamil Nadu in order to minimize the complications related to pregnancy and childbirth.
The scheme provides cash assistance in various installments when the pregnant mother fulfills the criteria to satisfy adequate antenatal care.
The development of a nation is dependent on several factors of which health is a predominant one.
This is indirectly reflected in the health status of the vulnerable groups, especially mother and child health.
The increasing prevalence of maternal deaths and infant deaths in poor and underdeveloped countries is good evidence to show that healthcare availability and accessibility (Universal health coverage) is key to nation-building.
There have been several government schemes applications introduced both at the center and at the state level for enhancing maternal health and improving institutional deliveries.
In addition, the placement of adequate human resources to tackle health care issues by way of training the midwives and ANMs and also strengthening the referral system has gone a long way in the reduction of maternal mortality rates.
Although India has made considerable progress in improving the overall health status, the complications of pregnancies and childbirth are still persistent and result in disability among women of reproductive age.
Several factors like malnutrition, poverty, illiteracy, and unhygienic living conditions complemented by infections, unregulated fertility, and lack of awareness are responsible for these complications.
Therefore in order to prioritize maternal health, it is important to establish infrastructure to support the same and in addition, there is a need to create awareness by building a knowledge base among people regarding the importance of the same.
Studies have shown that the lack of institutional deliveries has been the key reason for such maternal and child-related complications. Envisaging the complications involved in-home deliveries, the government of Tamil Nadu implemented a modest childbirth assistant scheme named after Dr. Muthu Lakshmi Reddy, Tamil Nadu’s first woman doctor and social activist.
