As many as 29 gynecologists from government hospitals, 23 from private hospitals and 7 PG medical students offered their services for conducting these tests.

Dr Ramesh Kishore instructed the Medical Officers concerned to closely monitor the condition of high risk pregnancy cases from time to time and ensure that delivery is done in the hospitals only. He suggested the doctors to spread the message about the birth planning centres and ensure that the pregnant women visit the centres two months prior to their delivery time.
