Continuing with the efforts to ensure safe motherhood through PMSMA and with the vision for further improvement, an Extended PMSMA strategy was launched recently.
The Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan (PMSMA) has been launched by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare in July 2016.
It aims to provide assured, comprehensive and quality antenatal care, free of cost, universally to all pregnant women on the 9th of every month.
PMSMA guarantees a minimum package of antenatal care services to women in their 2nd / 3rd trimesters of pregnancy at the designated government health facilities.
