District administration sets up a health call centre, with an aim to promote institutional deliveries in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada.

Callers inquire about the health of pregnant women in Hindi, Gondi and Halbi languages.

According to Dantewada Collector Deepak Soni, "Pregnant women are called to inquire about their health, starting one week before their estimated time of delivery and advice them to get admitted to pre-birth waiting rooms at hospitals before 3-4 days.

Currently, 5 women are working at the centre."
