Jamshedpur: East Singhbhum Deputy Commissioner (DC) Rajiv Ranjan has ordered health officials to make sure every single childbirth in the district takes place safely in a hospital. Speaking at a monthly health review meeting, the DC emphasized that safe motherhood and better healthcare must be the administration’s top priority.

Focus on Child Vaccines and Malnutrition

Better Health Facilities in Villages
The meeting also covered steps to control common diseases like Dengue, Malaria, TB, leprosy, and anaemia. The DC ordered stronger medical screening, testing, and treatment facilities, especially in remote and rural villages.
