In a recent meeting, doctors in Tamil Nadu put forth a proposal to address a pressing issue: the need to reduce maternal mortality rates by reevaluating existing maternity benefit policies. Currently, the government allocates a fixed sum of 18,000 rupees as maternity benefits under the Dr. Muthulakshmi Reddy scheme to women delivering at government hospitals. However, this well-intentioned policy inadvertently dissuades many women from seeking care at private healthcare facilities. The doctors have two crucial suggestions: either limit this benefit to economically disadvantaged families or enable women to receive cash benefits even when utilizing private hospitals.
