Question:
Which of the following is responsible for decrease in maternal mortality rate (MMR) ?
Options:
RCH ‘Reproductive and Child Health Care' (RCH).
CHI 'Centre for health informatics'.
Rashtriya swasth program.
Both a and b.
Correct Answer:
RCH ‘Reproductive and Child Health Care' (RCH).
Explanation:
Indian population which was approximately 350 million at the time of our independence reached close to the billion mark by 2000 and crossed 1 billion in May 2000. That means, every sixth person in the world is an Indian. A rapid decline in death rate, maternal mortality rate (MMR) and infant mortality rate (IMR) as well as an increase in number of people in reproducible age are through our RCH( ‘Reproductive and Child Health Care' ) programmes, though we could bring down the population growth rate, it was only marginal.
