AMPLI-PPHI Program focuses on strengthening safe motherhood systems in tribal communities by improving early identification of high-risk pregnancies, enhancing antenatal care, and ensuring timely access to maternal health services.
The Challenge
Tribal communities in Bhagwanpura Block face limited access to maternal healthcare, delayed identification of high-risk pregnancies, and low awareness regarding safe motherhood practices — increasing risks for both mothers and newborns.
Core Interventions
- Identification and tracking of high-risk pregnancies
- Regular ANC (Antenatal Care) check-ups and follow-ups
- Promotion of institutional deliveries
- Counseling on maternal health and nutrition
- Distribution of Misoprostol for emergency preparedness
- Community awareness through Participatory Learning and Action (PLA) tools
- Regular community meetings and household-level engagement
- Volunteer-led support for maternal health education
Impact Delivered
- Improved early identification of high-risk pregnancies
- Increased access to timely antenatal and delivery services
- Strengthened community awareness on maternal nutrition and danger signs
- Enhanced collaboration between community volunteers and frontline health workers
- Greater preparedness for emergency maternal situations at village level
Key Learning
When communities are informed, volunteers are active, and health systems are responsive, safe motherhood becomes a shared responsibility — not just a medical service, but a community movement.
