In a significant step toward improving maternal healthcare services in remote areas, the Manpur Community Health Center (CHC) has successfully conducted two cesarean deliveries for the first time. Acting on the directives of Collector Smt. Tulika Prajapati and under the guidance of the Chief Medical and Health Officer (CMHO), the procedures were completed smoothly, ensuring the safety of both mothers and newborns.
The surgeries were performed on Smt. Shashi Parteti of Gram Manpur and Smt. Rajeshwari Salame of Gram Gidhali under Mohla block. Both mothers and infants are reported to be in good health. The medical team led by Dr. Arvind Banker (Gynecologist), Dr. Dilip Kishor Sharma (Anesthesiologist), Dr. Sujata Kishor Sharma (Pediatrician), Dr. Seema Thakur (Medical Officer), and Dr. Girish Khobragade (Block Medical Officer) played a pivotal role in this success.

Until now, pregnant women from the Manpur region had to travel nearly 100 kilometers to Rajnandgaon Medical College for cesarean deliveries, often facing financial and physical difficulties. With this new facility operational at CHC Manpur, women in the region will have easier access to essential maternity care, marking a major improvement in local healthcare services.
