Syangja municipality providing egg for pregnant women to attract into health check up

Waling, Syangja – Bhirkot Municipality of the district has come up with a noble idea to attract pregnant women into a regular health check-up. It provides an egg each a day to the pregnant women who visit a health post on a regular basis. 

"This aims to encourage pregnant women into a regular health check-up. It also helps fulfil requirements of balanced diet for pregnant women," said the Municipality mayor Chhaya Ram Khanal. 

A pregnant woman is required to undergo a health check-up from three-month pregnancy. 
"Pregnant women can undergo a health check-up at their convenient health institution within the municipality. We will provide an egg each for them when they approach us with a health check-up card," said Khanal.
