Reproductive and Child Health Programme (RCH)
The Reproductive and Child Health (RCH) Programme was launched in India in 1997 to improve maternal and child health. It focuses on safe motherhood, child survival, family planning, and prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The programme provides services like antenatal care, immunization, institutional deliveries, and counseling. RCH is implemented through government health centers and aims to reduce maternal and infant mortality. It plays a key role in promoting reproductive rights and improving access to quality healthcare for women and children.
