Guwahati, Jul 23 (UNI) Women in tea gardens of Assam face multiple barriers to combat anemia and accessing adequate maternal health care, a report pointed out.
A survey report released by a non-governmental organization Nazdeek said various government interventions meant to combat anemia are insufficient and unsuccessful in reaching the women in the tea gardens of the state.
“Free nutritional supplements that are vital to women during pregnancy, and owed to them under government scheme, are not being disbursed to any pregnant women across the tea gardens,” the report said.
