Pawar said this while speaking at the National Maternal Health Workshop in the national capital. Aligning with the ‘Sustainable Development Goal Agenda 2030’ for maternal mortality reduction, the theme of the workshop was “striving for zero preventable maternal mortality”. Pawar stated that “India is on a positive trajectory for maternal health and child health outcomes and the Central government is committed to withstanding new challenges and envisages assuring safe motherhood for all its future mothers along with steps towards providing accessible and affordable healthcare”. The MoS said that “MMR decline has been stupendous from 130 in 2014-16 to 97 per lakh live births in 2018-20. She further said “the rapid decline in MMR shows government’s dedication under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi towards investments in health initiatives and in turn, ensuring health for all”.
