Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY)
Janani Surakha Yojana is another important component under NRHM. JSY is a centrally sponsored scheme to benefit pregnant women & certified poor families. The Government has introduced the Janani Suraksha Yojana to provide comprehensive medical care during pregnancy, child birth and postnatal care and thereby endeavour to improve the level of institutional deliveries in low performing states to reduce maternal mortality.
The NRHM provides broad operational framework for the Health Sector. Suggestive guidelines have been issued on key interventions like institutional deliveries, immunization, preparation of District Action Plan as well as schemes including ASHA, JSY etc. The States have the flexibility to project operational modalities in their State Action Plans.
It is envisaged that National Rural Health Mission shall be able to effectively improve the availability of and access to quality health care by people, especially for those residing in rural areas, the poor, women and children.
