Prevent Unsafe Abortions and Reproductive
Tract Infections (RTIs)
Several thousand women die due to
unsafe abortions in our country. One
out of the ten deaths during pregnancy
is due to abortion. Many cannot avail
or afford medical facilities. Many women die or suffer with complications
right through their lives – because
neither is this infection prevented nor
diagnosed nor treated properly at an
early stage. You can save lives and
prevent problems by informing other women about abortion with this
Flip Chart by Dr. Mira Shiva and Mini Varghese.
Antenatal & Post Natal Care
This flip chart talks of Postnatal Care.
Complications during the postnatal
period are often life threatening. Common complications during postnatal
period are bleeding, infections and
eclampsia etc. Most of the maternal
death occurs due to bleeding and
infection. This Flip Chart is aimed at
saving the lives of women through
systematically informing them on the
subject of postnatal care. The chart
is colourful, illustrative, and can be used by ANMs, health workers,
development workers or trainers working at the community level.
Infertility
This Flip chart targets infertility, which
is a medical as well as a social problem.
The purpose of this highly illustrative
bilingual flip chart is to change the
public opinion and attitudes towards
a woman who has no child. The chart
discusses the human reproductive
process, the causes of infertility, age-old
misconceptions and discriminative
treatment made towards women who
are unable to bear children. Health workers, ANMs or trainers working
at thecommunity level are the proposed target users of this Flip Chart.
