Gouri Mondol, 22 years of age recently delivered in Jirangacha BPHC(Bahanagar Primary Health Centre) in South 24 Parganas was one of the 24 hospitals that were part of the initiative."It was nearby, and they sent me an ambulance, and the doctor was nice, and so were the nurses who took care of me,"she says. Her first delivery when she was 17 years old in a government college hospital in Kolkata. She had been sitting on the ground, and saw the baby's head coming out, and stood up and hitched up her sari to hold the baby as it began to arrive, and called out to a nurse. By the time they got to her, the baby was born, and they took her to the labour room to stitch up her vagina that was bleeding after a tear. She had been hungry, and had been too shy to ask for food in the ward streaming with women who had come for delivery like her. She returned home, and said she would never go back to the hospital. This year, she decided to go for home delivery. But the Asha worker told her about the nearby hospital, she trusted Akhtarul Bibi, the good-natured ANM and agreed to deliver her second child at the hospital. Gouri Mondol got a bed in the ward, and the baby was delivered in April this year, and she was covered under the JSY(Janani Suraksha Yogna), which ensured she got Rs. 1000 when she was discharged from the hospital, and her medical expenses for the year after the birth would be taken care of under the scheme.
