Rohtak Intensifies Efforts Under BBBP With Mission Sukanya Suraksha: DC Sachin Gupta

Rohtak, December 2, 2025: The Deputy Commissioner, Sachin Gupta chaired a comprehensive District Health Review Meeting today, placing strong emphasis on the enhanced implementation of Mission Sukanya Suraksha - the district’s UID-based pregnancy tracking initiative under Beti Bachao Beti Padhao - while conducting an end-to-end assessment of district health systems, programmes and service delivery indicators. Officers from Health, ICDS, Education, PHED, ULBs and partner institutions participated in the meeting.
The Deputy Commissioner reiterated that Mission Sukanya Suraksha remains one of the district’s most critical interventions, ensuring that every pregnancy beginning with an ultrasound is assigned a Unique Pregnancy ID (UID) and is tracked until a documented outcome - live birth, stillbirth, miscarriage, legal MTP or referral.
He stressed that no ultrasound—public or private—can be conducted without generating a UID, and that any disruption in the digital trail triggers immediate verification within 48 hours. Automated risk alerts, traffic-light coding, and live dashboards now underpin the system, ensuring zero “silent” pregnancies and enabling early detection of irregular patterns.
Blocks were instructed to conduct monthly decoy operations at clinics with unusual trends. Panchayats will adopt Sukanya Suraksha commitments, while ASHA–ANM teams will integrate enhanced counselling with on-ground verification.
Reviewing the 4 November MoM, the DC noted partial compliance on the HR rationalisation plan. The Civil Surgeon must submit the completed FRU-first redistribution plan by 10 December, shifting 8–10 staff from surplus to deficit blocks.
Repairs across 10 Sub-Centres and 2 PHCs are progressing, with seven already completed. All facilities must be functional by 31 December. Kayakalp audits pending in four PHCs must also be completed by month-end. Water supply gaps in two Sub-Centres must be rectified by 10 December.
ABHA–facility linkage has reached 68%, though Sampla and Kalanaur require focused drives to cross 60%. Digital Health Dashboard rollout is lagging in three blocks; full implementation is mandated by 20 December with daily auto-sync validation.

From 15 December, ABHA generation will be compulsory for all OPD/IPD entries. ANMs and ASHAs must complete ABDM refresher training by 20 December.

Maternal & Child Health Review
• HRP identification has improved but still lags in Meham and Sampla. Weekly HRP verification and 48-hour confirmation of all red-category cases is mandatory.
• Maa Shakti peer-support groups are functional in eight PHCs; remaining centres to activate by 12 December.
• Child Health Utsav performance is strong in Lakhan Majra but requires enhancement in Kalanaur and Meham.
• Pending SNCU neonatal nurse deployment must be completed by 7 December.
• Two delayed maternal–infant RCA reports were flagged; the DC reiterated the strict 48-hour RCA rule.
• ANC coverage is above 80% in three blocks, with early ANC below 75% in Kalanaur. Institutional delivery levels remain stable at around 90%.
• Immunisation coverage is above 90%, with zero zero-dose children; blocks with >1% dropout must submit micro-corrective plans.

Family Planning

The DC flagged inconsistencies in postpartum FP counselling.
The Digital FP Register will begin pilot operations on 15 December.
Each block must ensure a minimum 40 procedures per month during FP camps.

Communicable & Non-Communicable Diseases
• Dengue levels remain controlled, though fogging and source reduction must be intensified in urban clusters. All backlog dengue containment reviews must be completed by 7 December.
• TB notification and adherence indicators remain stable.

Strengthened NCD Screening & Swasthya Vahini Review

The DC conducted a detailed review of the Swasthya Vahini initiative, noting that its launch has been delayed and instructing immediate operationalisation.

He emphasised that NCD screening—hypertension, diabetes, oral cancer, cervical cancer, and particularly breast cancer—must be significantly scaled up. All newly diagnosed HTN/DM patients must be linked to treatment within 72 hours.

Mobile NCD screening camps will now be held at the village level, and the DC directed that subdivision Sampla must be fully saturated with mobile health camps by 20 December, covering every village with on-site screening for breast cancer, cervical cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and lifestyle counselling.

Six ambulances remain off-road and must be operational by 15 December.
Emergency response time has improved to 16 minutes.
Monthly trauma-response drills will commence in the last week of December.

Procurement systems showed no stock-outs, but the Q4 procurement plan must be approved by 6 December. Convergence reporting from School Health Week is pending. PHED must resume fortnightly water-quality reporting immediately, and ICDS–Health monthly meetings must be held without exception.

In conclusion, the DC reiterated that Mission Sukanya Suraksha will function as the backbone of district health monitoring, supported by strengthened digital systems, intensified NCD screening, and improved block-level accountability.

All pending tasks must be completed by 31 December. Block-wise improvement plans must be submitted within five days. Fortnightly reviews will be conducted for lagging blocks. The next District Health Review Meeting will be held in January 2026.
