With an intention of providing quality healthcare to new mothers and new-borns, FOGSI (Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India), has teamed up with MSD for Mothers, MacArthur Foundation and Jhpiego (an affiliate of Johns Hopkins University), and has launched ‘Manyata’ – a nationwide initiative to improve the quality of maternal and neonatal care in private sector in India. The launch was flagged off by Ms. Pankaja Munde, Minister of Rural Development, Women and Child Welfare, in the presence of Dr Rishma Pai, President FOGSI, Dr. Hema Divakar, The national convener for Manyata, and FOGSI Ambassador to FIGO and Ms. Shilpa Shetty, Bollywood actor and celebrity.
As a continuum to the journey of FOGSI’s Vision 2022 and with the mantra of “Women’s Health is Nation’s Wealth”, a set of 16 parameters have been introduced as the standard practice which constitute the minimal essential care every woman must receive during her delivery. Any hospital that gets enrolled in this initiative will be assessed, and the concerned healthcare provider will be trained on the 16 parameters, reassessed post training and on scoring over 85%, the hospital will be certified with the ‘Manyata Seal of Quality’ and shall officially be considered as a healthcare facility that provides quality maternal care.
