By Dr. Priyanka Singh, Community Health Officer, Rozka Meo I am Dr. Priyanka Singh, serving as the Community Health Officer in Rozka Meo, District Nuh. For the past year, I have been closely involved in the Health and Nutrition Project initiated under the CSR program of MMTC-PAMP India Pvt. Ltd. , which focuses on improving the health of women in the villages of Kor and Basai. Anemia is a widespread and serious issue among pregnant women in Nuh district.

Many of the cases we handle are high-risk, making maternal health a critical concern. To address this, the project organizes regular health check-up camps in the villages. These camps provide routine ANC (Antenatal Care) check-ups, where we monitor vital health indicators such as blood pressure, random blood sugar, hemoglobin levels, weight, and more. Beyond medical check-ups, the program provides nutrition kits to pregnant women, especially those identified as high-risk. Women diagnosed with anemia receive IFA (Iron and Folic Acid) tablets, calcium, and multivitamins. We ensure continuous care through regular follow-ups. In more severe cases of anemia, we have even arranged for blood transfusions to safeguard the health of both the mother and the child.

An important part of this project is the creation of nutrition gardens at women's homes. These gardens empower families to grow their own nutritious vegetables, ensuring sustainable access to healthy food—a critical factor in preventing malnutrition and anemia. At the start of the project, every pregnant woman received a nutrition kit to kickstart her journey toward better health. I can confidently say that no other NGO or company has undertaken such focused and sustained work in maternal health in the Nuh district. Although the project is still in its early phase, we are already seeing positive changes. There has been a noticeable increase in the registration of women during their first trimester, which is vital for early intervention. More importantly, we are beginning to see a decline in the incidence of anemia among pregnant women.

These early successes are encouraging, and we are hopeful that as the project continues, we will achieve even greater impact on maternal and child health in these communities. I am proud to be part of this initiative and grateful for the unwavering support from MMTC-PAMP and my colleagues in the Government Health Department. Together, we are making a real difference in the lives of women and families in Nuh.
