It encompasses programmes to cater to requirements of pregnant women, children and communicable as well as non-communicable diseases.

Three rounds have been completed and the fourth round will start from 7th July, the Health Minister stated.

Also, a total of 15.7 lakh pregnant women were vaccinated with tetanus toxoid vaccine during these three rounds.
