In India, thousands of women die of pregnancy-related complications, anaemia, and malnutrition. These are easily preventable deaths, requiring only good nutrition and education in basic health care. In large parts of rural and urban India, the public health system lacks basic infrastructure like labour rooms and blood banks, as well as staff and proper equipment for childbirth. Here, an attempt has been made to educate women about pregnancy and maternal health, especially in rural areas, by providing them with pregnancy-related information. The output of the project is a pregnancy calendar from which pregnant women could learn what important steps should be taken during their entire pregnancy period. because the calendar is the common medium of information in rural areas. A calendar is a form that generates clues as to how one should read information. This information is provided in the pregnancy calendar in the form of images, informative poems, and instructions. It is also providing a system for midwives to visit pregnant women at least once a month.
This project is an attempt to find an alternative solution to my previous project, which involved designing, testing, and documenting it.
