IntroductionGoal 3 of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which include the older version of Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) maternal health (MDG-5) and child health and survival (MDG-4) are prime focused themes under the National Health Mission (NHM) of Government of India (GoI) [1]. Reduction in the maternal mortality of the country to achieve SDG goal is far away. On the further analysis, there has been a significant change with steady decline found in Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) in last decade, while Early Neonatal Mortality Rate (ENMR) and Perinatal Mortality Rate (PNMR) remained steady since last decade [2].Considering the fact that institutional deliveries raised significantly up to 73% across India after implementing Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) scheme, the major proportion of maternal mortality (44%) and neonatal mortality (40%) is still high on the period around child birth [2]. The majority of causes of maternal and newborn mortality are preventable through appropriate care to mother and newborn at the time of birth despite of having many strategies like Reproductive Maternal Neonatal Child and Adolescent Health (RMNCH+A). With the objective of improving the quality of care during child birth, GoI institutionalized 21 days training program of Skill Birth Attendance (SBA) for in-services Auxillary Nurse Midwives (ANMs) and staff nurses but results were not as according to expectations [2]. Subsequently, GoI introduced "Dakshata" which means adroitness, to improve intra partum and immediate post partum care with the training competency based and focusing on the highest impact practices during child birth, specifically shorter in duration for 3 days, post training follows up with support component by rolling out safe child birth checklist for doctors, staff nurses and ANMs The present investigation is an attempt to the assess the available infrastructure and services in the labor room, i.e., intra partum AbstractGoal 3 of the Sustainable Development Goals which use to be United Nations Millenium Development Goals (Goals 4 and 5) had focused on child survival and maternal health. These are the focused theme of the Government of India's public health programs under National Health Mission. It was Dakshata Program initiated in 2016 by GoI in 31 districts of the populous state of India, i.e., Uttar Pradesh. The investigation was carried out for these districts for the 124 high delivery load facilities selected from Health Management Information System data 2015-16. The random observations were undertaken for 2½ months (15 Sep -30 Nov 2016). The quality of the services was assessed using indicators in form of human resource, infrastructure, availability of drugs and trays, staff practices and knowledge and documentation processes. It was observed that human resource was inadequate for the investigated facilities. Despite of designated delivery rooms in all districts, the infrastructural setup was in poor state. The availability of the drugs and trays was in worst state. The labor room staff hardly follow...
The library and information science professionals (LISP) work restless to serve their clienteles till the satisfaction level of the procurement of the information desired by the users. The services of LSIP are beyond the acquisition of the information material. These are the continuous efforts for the preservation of the resources from the dust, molds, insects (silverfish, termites etc.), climatic factors (high temperature, humidity) and other types of physical damages like brittleness of the papers, tearing of books, breaking down of hard materials (like CDs) etc. The LISP performs various types of activities which include spray of chemicals (like pesticides, preservatives) and digitization of old books. All these activities result into the health challenges among the human resources in form of the librarians and other library staff. The health issues are mostly related to the allergy and the respiratory problems along with other common physical concerns like headache, blood pressure, back pain, obesity, facial skin damage etc. which leads to the serious ailments viz. cancer, cardiac arrest.The present investigation is an attempt to review of the health challenges drawn from the observations on the randomly selected hundred LISPs from the state of Rajasthan (India). A short survey through the semi-structured interviews was undertaken to observe the general physical aspects (BMI) of the respondents along with the associated ailments (based on response without any medical reports).The result indicated the lower proportion of the normal BMI among the respondents. Besides, every LISP was suffering from one or more kind of the ailment. Backache was the most common among the LISPs.The inference drawn from the review investigation indicated that the policy for the LISPs with primary focus on the health is the need of the time for the academic libraries of the developing nations.
