Dr Sanjeev Khurd,president of the POGS,said that various issues will be taken up by the society like decreasing maternal mortality through the anaemia chale jao campaign.The UNICEF Report shows the Maternal Mortality in India is 450 Deaths per 1 lakh live births,higher than the Global average of 400. Aneamia is an important cause of this high Maternal Mortality. Prevention of Anemia in Adolescent Girls and young brides will reduce the incidence of maternal mortality in India. Again another issue of importance is TB of the Genital organs that causes permanent,irreparable damage and results in infertility ( 20 % cases of Infertility ). Even highly advanced sophisticated treatments like IVF ( Test Tube Baby ) cannot help these women bear a child in majority of cases. They are forced to suffer immense mental agony and social disgrace. The POGS will also taken an active campaign about no scalpel vasectomy.
