The health department of Dibrugarh district in Assam reports that every birth in the last year took place in a health facility, marking a second consecutive year of 100% institutional deliveries.
Dibrugarh district in Assam has achieved a full coverage of institutional deliveries for the second year running, according to data released by the district health office. The report indicates that every registered birth during the year was attended to in a government or private health facility, eliminating home deliveries. Health officials attribute the milestone to sustained outreach by community health workers, increased awareness campaigns, and improved accessibility of maternity services across the district. The achievement aligns with national goals under the National Health Mission to ensure safe childbirth and reduce maternal and infant mortality. Authorities plan to maintain the momentum by strengthening antenatal care and expanding facility capacity in remote areas.
