Service Provided to Beneficiary: The Pregnant mother Kalpana Sanjay Powar, 25 years was taken for a check-up to the PHC hospital where her HB was only 8 grams.

She was taken 4 time sto PHC for the check-up, after which she started feeling better. She was still feeling weak as she couldn’t stand which could have been avoided if she would have been taken to PHC earlier.
