Jhabua (Madhya Pradesh): Collector Neha Meena on Tuesday conducted a surprise inspection of the VHSND (Village Health, Sanitation and Nutrition Day) session at the Vadlipada Anganwadi centre and visited Kharakui Anganwadi centre to assess facilities and services.
After looking at the Kharakui centre, operating in a dilapidated building, she directed concerned officials to relocate Anganwadi centres to safe and rented facilities immediately.
At Vadlipada, she reviewed ANC registration, vaccination status, high-risk pregnant women monitoring and the condition of enrolled children, including SAM, MAM and SUW categories.
The CHO reported that out of 24 children scheduled for vaccination, only two were vaccinated. Among 146 identified pregnant women, 25 were high-risk and five of 22 newly registered women missed ANC checkups. Collector expressed displeasure over the lack of timely mobilisation by ASHA workers.
She also checked online entries on U-WIN and Nutrition Tracker, tasted children’s meals and instructed proper provision of food. She directed detailed reports from the Chief Medical and Health Officer. Officials including Dr BS Baghel and RS Baghel were present.
