A national initiative guaranteeing free delivery, free medicines and diet for pregnant women in government health institutes was unveiled by UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi in Mewat, Haryana, on Wednesday.

In an effort to tackle maternal mortality, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare is starting the scheme.

"It is sad that 67,000 women die in childbirth every year and nine lakh children die in one month of birth. This scheme will give right to all pregnant women to have free delivery in government health organisations," Gandhi said launching the programme.

Gandhi said all medicines and medical tests and provision for blood will be free of cost. She said the government will also take care of the expenses if the patient is referred to a bigger hospital.
