Only two delivery cases were handled in this building during the past 15 years. [The health education campaign] really brought positive change into the community. Now, many women visit this health facility. It strongly reflects in the fact that in five months we handled 50 labor room cases.

When I was a child, I received vaccinations from CWS-P/A’s basic health unit and visited the BHU when I was sick. It was my dream to become a doctor and help my community. I really liked the vaccination and awareness programs, which is why I wanted to work and am still here eleven years later as a medical officer.
