Collectorate Angul.

VHND is a joint initiative to strengthen the ongoing Mother and Child Health Services by the Department of Health and ICDS. The objective of the VHND is to provide essential and comprehensive health and nutrition services to pregnant women, lactating mothers, children (0-5 yrs.) and adolescent girls.  Regular ante-natal and post-natal check-ups are the most important interventions under the VHND Programme.

More than 5000 pregnant women and lactating mothers will benefit from this initiative. JSP Foundation under its Vastalya programme has been partnering with the state govt. and district administrations in Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand to ensure substantial reductions of Infant Mortality Rate and Mother Mortality Rate through multifaceted measures like registration of pregnancy, ante-natal care, post-natal care, vaccination, institutional delivery and nutrition supplement.
