Janani Suraksha Yojana: Bridging the Healthcare Gap for Pregnant Women in India

India's healthcare system has long faced challenges in delivering quality maternal healthcare to rural and marginalized populations. Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) was introduced to overcome these barriers by promoting institutional deliveries and offering financial incentives for pregnant women to access proper medical care during childbirth.

Why is Janani Suraksha Yojana Essential?

Access to Institutional Care: In many parts of rural India, healthcare facilities are either too far or too expensive. JSY helps by providing cash incentives, enabling expectant mothers to afford and access healthcare institutions.

Lowering Maternal and Infant Mortality: India has historically faced high rates of maternal and infant deaths. The Janani Suraksha Yojana promotes safe childbirth practices through institutional deliveries, significantly reducing these mortality rates.

Financial Relief for Vulnerable Families: Many families in rural India struggle with the costs of childbirth. JSY helps alleviate this burden by offering financial assistance for medical care and transportation to healthcare centers.

Benefits of Janani Suraksha Yojana

Safe Deliveries: By promoting hospital-based deliveries, JSY ensures that women receive the medical support they need during childbirth, reducing the risk of complications.

Support for New Mothers: JSY not only focuses on safe delivery but also emphasizes post-natal care, ensuring that both the mother and the baby receive proper medical attention after childbirth.

Encourages Healthcare Utilization: Through its financial incentives and awareness campaigns, JSY encourages more women to seek professional healthcare, ultimately improving maternal and child health outcomes.

The National Health Mission's (NHM) Janani Suraksha Yojana 2023 (JSY) safe motherhood initiative seeks to lower maternal and newborn mortality by encouraging institutional delivery among low-income expectant women. It is a completely centrally financed programme.

JSY, which was introduced in April 2005, is being used in all Indian states and union territories. The National Maternity Benefit Scheme (NMBS), which has been in place since June 1997, and the Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakram (JSSK), which was introduced in June 2011, were combined into one programme. Pregnant mothers who give birth in a medical facility are given financial support under the JSY programme.

By encouraging expectant mothers to give birth in medical facilities and consequently reducing home deliveries, the scheme's overall goal is to lower maternal and newborn mortality rates. The State Governments/UT Administrations are used to carry out the programme, which is implemented by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India.

The programme offers pregnant mothers financial support for having their babies in hospitals. Women from Below Poverty Line (BPL) families receive monetary support, which is sent straight into the recipients' bank accounts. Most states provide cash support in the amount of Rs. 1,400, though this amount may vary from state to state. The most that can be given in cash is Rs. 6,000.

Additionally, the programme offers pregnant women free transportation and companionship to the medical facility. Additionally, it promotes family planning by giving women having sterilisation an extra Rs. 200. Additionally, the programme offers pregnant women free needed medications and diagnostic services.

For the fiscal years 2021–2023, the Indian government has set out Rs. 15,000 crores for the Janani Suraksha Yojana's execution. The government has also taken a number of actions to ensure that the plan is implemented successfully. These include establishing a specific monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system, giving state governments technical support, and launching the Janani Suraksha Yojana Mobile App (JSYMA).

The scheme has had tremendous success. The institutional delivery rate increased from 38% in 2005-2006 to 78% in 2018-19, according to the National Health Mission.

Other Important Points:  The ITministry is the lead agency for implentation of the mission along with the Ministry of Human Resource Development and Department of Science and Technology.  The PM-STIAC is an overarching body that identifies challenges in certain areas of science and technology.  It then creates a road map to deal with these challenges and presents the recommendations to the Prime Minister.  Besides natural language translation, other missions identified by the body includes Quantum Frontier, Artificial Intelligence, National Bio-diversity mission, electric vehicles, BioScience for Human Health and deep ocean exploration. Nuclear Wastes: Why in News? India has adopted ―closed fuel cycle‖, where spent nuclear fuel is regarded as a material of resource. What does it Mean?  Closed fuel cycle aims at reprocessing of spent fuel for recovery of Uranium and Plutonium and recycling them back to reactor as fuel.  This finally leads to a very small percentage of residual material present in spent nuclear fuel requiring their management as radioactive waste.  Safe management of radioactive waste has been accorded high priority right from the inception of our nuclear energy programme. How is it Done?  With the advent of new technologies based on partitioning of waste, emphasis is accorded to separation and recovery of these useful Daily Current Affairs Dated On 28-June-2019 radio-isotopes so as to make use of the waste for various societal applications.  Utmost emphasis is given to waste volume minimization, effective containment and isolation of radio-activity followed by near zero discharge of radioactivity to the environment.  As a waste management philosophy, no waste in any physical form is released / disposed to the environment unless the same is cleared, exempted or excluded from regulations. A comprehensive radioactive waste management is established taking into account the operational capability for the management of radioactive waste and an independent regulatory capability for its overview. Threats from Nuclear waste:  The transport of this waste poses an unacceptable risk to people and the environment  Plutonium has been stated to be 'the most toxic substance on earth' and so hazardous that 'a speck can kill  Most nuclear waste produced is hazardous, due to its radioactivity, for only a few tens of years and is routinely disposed of in near-surface disposal facilities (see above). Only a small volume of nuclear waste (~3% of the total volume) is long-lived and highly radioactive and requires isolation from the environment for many thousands of years.  Even if put into a geological repository, the waste might emerge and threaten future generation  There is a potential terrorist threat to the large volumes of radioactive waste currently being stored and the risk that this waste could leak or be dispersed as a result of terrorist action.

जननी सुरक्षा योजना केंद्र सरकार की ओर से चलायी जा रही गर्भवती महिलाओं और नवजातों के हित में एक प्रयास है।स्वास्थ्य और परिवार कल्याण मंत्रालय द्वारा इस योजना को 2005 में किया गया था। इस प्रायोजित योजना का उद्देश्य गरीब गर्भवती महिलाओं को प्रसव की उचित सुविधा प्रदान करना है। योजना के अंतर्गत रजिस्टर्ड महिलाओं को एमसीएच (MCH- mother and child health) कार्ड दी जाती है, जो योजना का लाभ पाने के लिए जरूरी है।

जननी सुरक्षा योजना का उद्देश्य 

जननी सुरक्षा योजना का उद्देश्य गरीब गर्भवती महिलाओं को यथोचित सुविधा देना एवं सुरक्षित प्रसव करवाना है। इसके लिए गर्भवती महिलाओं को आर्थिक मदद देने का प्रावधान रखा गया है। सरकार का लक्ष्य जननी सुरक्षा योजना के माध्यम से बच्चों के जन्म के समय मां एवं नवजात मृत्यु दर को कम करना है। साथ ही ग़रीब महिलाओं की घर में डिलीवरी को रोकना भी उद्देश्य है क्योंकि यह पूरी तरह से असुरक्षि�� है। सरकार की पहल है कि इससे ग़रीब महिलाएं भी अस्पताल में सुरक्षित डिलीवरी करवा सके ताकि ज़च्चा बच्चा आपात स्थिति��ों से बच सकें और  सुरक्षित हों।

जननी सुरक्षा योजना (JSY) के लाभ 

इस योजना के तहत गर्भवती महिलाओं को 6000 रुपये  के आर्थिक लाभ दिए जाते हैं। यह राशि सरकार की ओर से गर्भवती महिलाओं के बैंक अकाउंट में डायरेक्ट ट्रांसफ़र किये जाते हैं साथ ही गर्भवतियों की सारी जांच और बच्चे की डिलीवरी नि:शुल्क करायी जाती है। सरकारी आंकड़े बताते हैं कि जननी सुरक्षा योजना से देश में सालाना एक करोड़ से अधिक महिलाओं को मदद मिल रही है और जच्चा-बच्चा को पर्याप्त पोषण उपलब्ध करायी जा रही है। 12 अप्रैल 2005 को शुरू हुए जननी सुरक्षा योजना पर केंद्र सरकार सालाना 1600 करोड़ रुपये व्यय करती है। हमारे देश में हर साल बीमारियाँ, पर्याप्त पोषण की कमी, गर्भावस्था से जुडी दिक्कतें आदि कई समस्याएँ के कारण  तक़रीबन 50 से 60 हज़ार  महिलाओं की गर्भावस्था के दौरान मृत्यु  हो जाती है और लगभग 13 लाख से अधिक नवजात की मृत्यु 1 वर्ष की आयु से पहले हो जाती है। इसी स्थिति से निपटने के लिए सरकार ने जननी सुरक्षा योजना की शुरुआत की है। राष्ट्रीय स्वास्थ्य मिशन द्वारा संचालित यह एक सुरक्षित मातृत्व कार्यक्रम है।

JSY योजना के नियम 

गर्भवती महिलाओं को दी जाने वाली सुरक्षा योजना अर्थात जननी सुरक्षा योजना के तहत ग्रामीण इलाकों में 1,400 रुपये और शहरी क्षेत्र में एक हजार रुपये दिए जाने का प्रावधान है। विदित हो कि गर्भवती महिलाओं को प्रधानमंत्री मातृ वंदना योजना के तहत पांच हजार रुपये और मिलते हैं। बच्चे की नि:शुल्क डिलीवरी के बाद पांच साल तक जच्चा-बच्चा के टीकाकरण को लेकर उन्हें जानकारी भेजी जाती है और  और नि:शुल्क टीकाकरण किया जाता है। योजना की प्रक्रिया और जरूरी दस्तावेज इसके लिए गर्भवती महिला को किसी सरकारी अस्पताल में रजिस्ट्रेशन कराना होता है। इसके लिए जरूरी दस्तावेज की ज़रूरत पड़ती है इनमे आधार कार्ड, वोटर आईडी कार्ड, सरकारी अस्पताल द्वारा जारी डिलीवरी सर्टिफिकेट महिला का बैंक अकाउंट नंबर आदि है। Janani Suraksha Yojana "आशा" एक महत्वपूर्ण कड़ी  जननी सुरक्षा योजना में "आशा" का महत्वपूर्ण रोल है। "आशा" मान्यता प्राप्त सामाजिक स्वास्थ्य कार्यकर्ताओं की एक संस्था है जो इस योजना के कार्यान्वित करने और सफल करने में एक महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाती है। देश के ग़रीब और पिछड़े इलाकों की महिलाओं तक ये आशा कार्यकर्त्ता ही इन सुविधाओं का लाभ पहुँचाने का काम करती है।  आशा कार्यकर्ताएं ही गर्भवती महिलाओं की पहचान से लेकर उन्हें अस्पताल में भर्ती कराने और उन्हें जरूरी सुविधा उपलब्ध कराने तक की सभी औपचारिकता पूरी करती हैं। उन्हें जननी सुरक्षा योजना में लाभार्थी महिला को सरकारी प्रणाली से जोड़ने की भूमिका ��ी निभानी पड़ती है। प्रधानमंत्री जननी सुरक्षा योजना (PMJSY) के बारे में अधिक जानकारी आपको नीचे दिए गए लिंक पर मिल सकते हैं| Read the full article
