Shillong, Jan 27: Mendipathar MLA Marthon J Sangma today inaugurated the Urban Health and Wellness Centre in Dome Anti, North Garo Hills.
Addressing the gathering, Sangma urged the community to make full use of the centre, particularly expecting mothers, adding that access to timely maternal care was essential for ensuring healthy pregnancies and safe deliveries.
Deputy Commissioner Abhishek Saini called upon the village leaders to mobilise women and families to utilise the centre for safe institutional deliveries, with the shared goal of achieving zero maternal mortality rate and zero infant mortality rate in the area.
In her remarks, District Immunisation Officer Dr Rezia K Sangma informed that the newly inaugurated UHWC will cater not only to Dome Anti but also to three adjoining villages, thereby providing communities with essential healthcare services at the primary level. She added that a poly clinic will be organised once every month, where specialist doctors will visit to ensure regular monitoring of the health of mothers and children.
