mMitra empowers Nasarin Mustafa Shaikh through a high-risk pregnancy journey

This is Nasarin’s first pregnancy and she started receiving the mMitra calls from the fifth month of her gestational period. Nasarin was registered as a high-risk case in mMitra, due to her thyroid condition. Through the calls, she received guidance to seek care at Sion Hospital, Mumbai.

In the sixth month, one of the calls alerted her to the danger sign of red discharge. Despite reassurances from relatives, she trusted the information provided by mMitra and promptly sought medical attention at Sion Hospital, resulting in timely admission and necessary interventions.

On another occasion, when she noticed reduced fetal movement, she recalled the advice from mMitra calls and promptly informed her doctor. This led to further assessments, including sonography.

“The guidance provided by mMitra calls has been invaluable in safeguarding the health of both my baby and me. I am grateful for the support and information provided, and I make it a point to diligently listen to all calls, recognising the immense benefit they offer in navigating my pregnancy journey,” she says.

mMitra is ARMMAN’s free mobile voice call service that sends timed and targeted preventive care information weekly/bi-weekly directly to the phones of enrolled women through pregnancy and infancy in their chosen language and timeslot.
