Aam Aadmi Clinics in Mohali to provide antenatal care, family planning services

The Aam Aadmi Clinics in the district will soon be providing maternal care and family planning services, for which the medical officers deputed at these clinics were imparted special training in the auditorium of Dr BR Ambedkar State Institute of Medical Sciences here.

Deputy Commissioner Komal Mittal said the targeted training would significantly benefit expectant mothers and enhance the overall quality of health services in the region.

Civil Surgeon Dr Sangeeta Jain said the primary goal of the training was to empower healthcare service providers with the knowledge needed to educate women and couples, enabling them to make informed and healthy family planning decisions.

During the workshop, the doctors received hands-on guidance on comprehensive antenatal care, including the importance of essential check-ups during pregnancy — monitoring blood pressure, weight and identifying high-risk cases.

The session also covered key topics such as nutrition, immunisation, early detection of danger signs and postnatal care.

District immunisation officer Girish Dogra, nodal officer Renu Singh, district family welfare officer Tamanna Singhal, district mass media officer Harcharan Singh and other officials were also present.
