SAS Nagar, May 22,2021
Keeping in view the rise in number of pregnant women been affected by COVID19 state-wide in the recent past, District Magistrate Girish Dayalan has directed Health Care Workers to accord top priority to health of pregnant women.
The orders issued in this context state that the details of the pregnant women affected by COVID19, both in urban and rural areas should be reported without delay as they fall in the high risk category. All the SMOs are to assign duties to ASHA workers or community health workers working under them, for this purpose. Besides, the concerned SMOs will send daily report in this regard to the COVID Patient Tracking Officer (CPTO).
The CPTO and Sub Divisional Magistrates will ensure that Mission Fateh Kits are delivered on priority to them through Rapid Response Teams.
Civil Surgeons will make it the duty of dedicated Gynaecologists to provide medical care to the affected pregnant women on priority basis and give their opinion through telemedicine. The District Program Officer will ensure that the CDPOs and Anganwadi workers working in SAS Nagar would extend their full support to the SMOs for this purpose.
CPTO-cum-SP (Rural), SAS Nagar would be in-charge of the supervision of this work. The CPTO will prepare a daily report in this regard and send it to the government and DM office. The Civil Surgeon will deploy a Medical Officer with the CPTO for this purpose.
