Abstract

Safe motherhood is a new concept in the field of reproductive health, which ensures that the women receive high quality care for achieving the optimum level of health of both the mother as well as the infant. The basic principles of safe motherhood are – Family Planning, Antenatal Care, Obstetric Care, Post Natal Care, Post Abortion Care and STV/HIV/AIDS Control. The present study shows that the picture of safe motherhood in West-Bengal is quite promising, but more steps (like - proper execution of various schemes, more self-awareness among the pregnant women with the help of education etc) should be taken immediately for the betterment of the nation.
