=__** A wise decision **__= During her routine visits to families, Sushma, the ASHA of the village found that Meena had started clear discharge from her genitals since morning. Sushma informed the ANM, immediately arranged for an auto rickshaw from the village and took Meena to the sub-district hospital. The doctor praised Sushma for avoiding the delay in transportation and for bringing Meena directly to a hospital with adequate facility to take care of her condition. He told that any further delay would have endangered the life of both mother and baby. Meena gave birth to a baby girl. All the family members were very happy to see the newborn baby. Meena’s husband was surprised to find out that they will not have to pay for the hospital expenses or for the auto-rickshaw and in fact would receive some money from the hospital. __ ** Resources: ** __ - Park's Textbook of Preventive and Social Medicine Chapters: Health Programs in India, Preventive Medicine in Obstetrics, Paediatrics and Geriatrics, Nutrition and Health
