MAHER SCHEME
Maher scheme
Melghat have hilly terrain and many of the tribal padas do not have pukka roads. Even if
pukka roads are available, there is no reliable transportation system for transferring pregnant
women in labour to nearby PHC. This is the one of the important cause of high maternal and
neonatal mortality and morbidity.
Since accurate predication cannot be made on the time of delivery, hence it puts the mother
in danger if she develops complicacies and does not find transportation facilities. Hence Maher
scheme is implemented in Melghat area in which one room is build in PHC premises where pregnant
woman will get admitted one week before her due date. She can be daily checked by Doctor of PHC
and can be transported to suitable referral centre if any complications are detected during waiting
period or during labour.
Following facilities are proposed in ‘Maher’
• One room of 5×5 meters
• One sanitary block (Toilet and bathroom)
• One kitchen ota with smokeless chulha
• One solar water heater system on roof of the room
‘Maher’ will be maintained by local Self Help Group. When mother is admitted, mother, her young
child and one relative will be provided food three times a day. It is proposed to provide Rs. 400/‐ per
delivery. In 2008‐10, 9 PHCs Maher room constructions get completed. Hence remaining 2 PHCs in
Melghat areas will be proposed under this scheme.
Melghat PHC : 1) Katkumbh
2) Salona
