The programme facilitates access to essential services including antenatal examinations, ultrasounds, iron-folic acid supplementation, and other necessary diagnostic tests.

Complete Antenatal Care (ANC) package including blood pressure monitoring, general health check-ups, laboratory investigations, and one ultrasound examination. Free distribution of essential medicines such as Iron Folic Acid (IFA) tablets and calcium supplements. Early identification and management of high-risk pregnancies to ensure timely referral and care.
The PMSMA session at PHC Shargole was attended by Dr. Tabasum Fatima (Gynaecologist), Dr. Farida Banoo (Block Medical Officer, Sinologist), Dr. Tsering Chonzom (Medical Officer), Tsering Dolma (Community Health Officer), Skalzanq Angmo (ANM), along with other dedicated healthcare staff.
A total of 15 pregnant women were screened during the programme, and several high-risk pregnancies were identified for further monitoring and management.
