Life Saving Treatment to Children in Rural India

Dear Friend,

Today, I would like you to know about Jaruli who lives in one of the village of Kotra block where Seva Mandir works. She has given birth twice and both times the baby did not survive. During these pregnancies, she never received any maternal health care assistance, such as antenatal care or TT vaccinations, as government health services and facilities in the area were out of reach. She got pregnant again, but this time Jaruli attended immunization camps in her village, an initiative been launched by Seva Mandir since 2009 in order to raise awareness and improve immunization services. She was given proper vaccination shots during her pregnancy. She was also counseled on nutrition and advised to take iron tablets to combat her anaemia.

Furthermore, Seva Mandir’s Traditional Birth Attendant (TBA), a woman from the village who had been trained by Seva Mandir to serve pregnant woman, assisted her throughout the pregnancy, checking on her every month when she visited the village for immunization camps. Thanks to her primary assistance, eventually Jaruli had a safe delivery.  Jaruliis now happy with her healthy child and she's deeply grateful to Seva Mandir’s TBA for all the help and support she was given during her pregnancy.

Seva Mandir will continue to conduct free health check up and immunization camps in other remote villages of its work area in order to help many such women like Jaruli.

Your support to Seva Mandir is essential, since only people like you can really turn Seva Mandir's efforts and commitment into reality. With your help we can make a difference and provide a valid treatment to tribal women and children who would otherwise have no option available to get the basic health care.
