Program Details

Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY)

Janani Suraksha Yojana was launched in April 2005 by modifying the National Maternity Benefit Scheme (NMBS). This scheme is implemented with the objective of reducing maternal and neonatal mortality by promoting institutional delivery among poor pregnant women. Under the scheme Rs. 700 to rural BPL pregnant women, Rs.600 to urban BPL pregnant women is being paid at the time of delivery (within 48 hours of the delivery) & Rs. 500 to BPL pregnant women for having home delivery. In addition to JSY amount State government is also providing Rs. 300 to rural BPL pregnant women under Sukhibhava Scheme.

Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakaram (JSSK)

Government of India has launched Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakaram (JSSK) on 1st June, 2011, which entitles all pregnant women delivering in public health institutions to absolutely free and no expense for delivery including Caesarean section. The initiative stipulates free drugs, diagnostics, blood and diet, besides free transport from home to institution, between facilities in case of a referral and drop back home. Similar entitlements have been put in place for all sick newborns accessing public health institutions for treatment till 30 days after birth. In 2013 this has been expanded to Sick infants and antenatal and postnatal complications.

Maternal Death Review

All the States & Union Territories have identified DPs above a certain minimum benchmark of performance to prioritize and direct resources in a focused manner to these facilities for filling the gaps like trained and skilled human resources, infrastructure, equipments, drugs and supplies, referral transport etc. for providing quality & comprehensive RMNCH (Reproductive, Maternal, Neonatal & Child Health) services.

Delivery Points (DPs)
