The ShivaShanta Mother and Child Health Center cares for children and their mothers from 3 months of conception to 3 years of age. The center provides proper pre-natal and post-natal care, free immunization, family planning, health and nutrition education, essential drugs, and appropriate treatment of common childhood diseases.
Services are provided on a “pay as you wish” basis, meaning that nobody is denied any health service for want of money and about two thirds of patients receive 100% free services. Since opening in 1986, the Health Center has served 262,850 women and 334,485 children. It is now looking to expand further into inpatient services, educational camps and mobile clinics in rural areas.
