We submitted a Case Study to Collector-DM Balangir regarding death of Smt. Nepur Nayak at CHC Kantabaji on dated 14.4.2009, during child birth, for appropriate actions and forwarded a copy to NHRC. Since the letter was addressed to Collector, NHRC did not took any action. Now today I got a copy of the "Order Sheet" from OHRC, which says that, since this is a topical issue, OHRC is sending a copy of the petition to Secretary to Government, Health and Family Welfare and they have to furnish a report on a general picture of the state of mortality of pregnant women at child birth, trend during the past decades and various Interventions made by State Government to reduce the MMR during delivery.
We Welcome this step taken by OHRC and hope it'll ensure at least some review and reflection in Health department.
