Punjab's Aam Aadmi Clinics Report High Monthly Turnout for Pregnant Women's Care

Punjab's Aam Aadmi Clinics are reportedly seeing nearly 20,000 pregnant women monthly for comprehensive care, including free ultrasound services via a referral system with private centers. Health Minister Balbir Singh stated this initiative has saved families an estimated ₹1 crore in expenses. The program aims to address the state's maternal mortality ratio, which is higher than the national average, and improve antenatal check-up rates. The clinics are integrated into the primary healthcare system, offering routine and critical tests for an estimated 4.3 lakh pregnancies annually.
