"Our children are always delivered at home, why would we need to go to the hospital?” - Anjum Shaikh.
Anjum's first baby was stillborn and was delivered at home. However, she and her husband were adamant about not registering her second pregnancy at the nearby hospital. They were persistent about delivering the baby at home. Read how SNEHA worked with the couple to ensure Anjum had a safe and healthy delivery.
Many women in the slums of Mumbai are unaware of the maternal health services available at state-run health care centres and hospitals. They also have limited understanding of the best practices for the well-being of mothers and newborns.

However, we still have a long way to go. We appeal to you to continue supporting our efforts towards ensuring healthy women and children.
