Improved medical facilities for expectant mothers in all Rural Health Centers at Block Level need to be improved. Pregnant ladies may be encouraged to go for regular check up and free medicine and nutrition drink powder be provided to them. Medical facilities for new born babies need to be improved in these centers.Mobil3e medical teams should visit schools in rural areas regularly to check children’s health and give free medicine and advise.

In India adulteration is major problem effecting the young and old alike. In our national capital alone daily 1,00,000 liters of synthetic milk is sold in the slums made out of Urea,oil,liquid soap etc. In most of the metros the oil products(cooking oil, ghee, dalda, maska)extracted from dead animals. In Hyderabad alone 30000liter/day is s we have factories that make these oils out of animal waste(slaughter houses). We need strict laws to crub it.How can we have healthy nation?

There are things need to be taken care of by our policy makers that:(1)No marriage take place below the age of marriage as decided by our law.(2)Every couple who is going to marry compulsorily take permission from adjoining health care system to marry and health authorities needs to provide all information about reproductive and child health knowledge including all supportive health care activities made available to mother and child by Govt. at all levels.These must be followed by all concerned.

Apart from malnutrition and infectious diseases,the special kind of accident which occurs only for small children should be carefully analyzed.In the agriculture areas where the land owners has the unclosed bore wells in which the water is not available should be closed to avoid the children falling into these holes.Though there is government order, many land owners leave it unattended.People should be educated and counseled to close them as soon as possible.This will save more children in India

These days so many small kids are getting brutally raped and dying from this the disease of "rape". Today I read a news that a 6 year old girl, who's father was a daily laborer was brutally raped. 4 ft iron which was 12mm thick was inserted in her vagina, it tore her internal organs !!! I feel so enraged. Nothing less than public hanging--http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/Another-Nirbhaya-6-year-old-sexually-assaulted-does-brutality-know-no-bounds/articleshow/46551294.cms

बच्चों के स्वास्थ्य को बेहतर बनाना एवं मौते रोकने के लिए भारतीय आयुर्विज्ञान अनुसंधान परिषद द्वारा अनुसंधान किये जाने की आवष्यकता है जिससे बच्चे के जन्म के 06 माह पष्चात् ऐसा टीका या सीरप की खोज की जावे, जो पोलियों की तरह कारगर हो।ं
