Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakram (JSSK)
It has been observed that most of the times due to delay in reaching health care facility like FRU, 24x7 PHCs, Secondary or Tertiary centers, mothers and neonates are deprived of emergency care resulting in maternal morbidity and mortality, still birth and neonatal deaths. To prevent all these complications, it is important that mothers and children should be provided quality care free of cost including diet and transport facility on time.
