As part of their RMNCH+A experiential learning, 2nd semester MPH students from the School of Public Health, JSS AHER, accompanied by the faculty Ms. Sheeba and Dr. Minu Maria Rose, visited the Community Health Centre (CHC), Jayanagar, Mysuru on May 12, 2025. ???? During the visit, students explored the infrastructure and key services provided by the CHC including maternal and child healthcare, immunization, diagnostics, family planning, and emergency services. ?? The students also conducted assessments using the Kayakalp and LaQshya checklists to evaluate hygiene, infection control, and quality of Labour room, maternal care and infrastructure. ??? The students also interacted with expectant mothers, visited the postnatal ward, and gained first-hand experience in public health delivery at the grassroots level. ?? Takeaway: Strengthening primary care through well-equipped and staffed CHCs is vital to improving health outcomes and achieving universal health coverage.
