Telangana government is all set to launch ‘KCR Nutritional Kits’ from next month for pregnant women at all government hospitals.
The KCR Nutritional Kits are aimed at improving the nutritional status of pregnant women, especially those who suffer from anaemia in Telangana. The KCR Nutritional Kits will be launched in nine districts including Adilabad, Bhadradri Kothagudem, Jayashankar Bhupalpally, Jogulamba
Gadwal, Kamareddy, Kumram Bheem Asifabad, Mulugu, Nagarkurnool and Vikarabad where anaemia deficiency among pregnant women is prevalent on a large scale.
“The nutritional kits will be loaded with proteins, minerals and vitamins, which will go a long way in reducing anaemia and improve the percentage of haemoglobin among pregnant women in the nine districts, ” Health Minister T Harish Rao said here on Saturday.
