Of these, high-risk caesarean deliveries accounted for 5,300 cases with an expenditure of Rs 6.37 crore, reflecting increased access to emergency obstetric care.A National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5)-based study noted that nearly one in two pregnancies in India is high-risk, citing factors such as low education levels, poverty, short pregnancy intervals and prior complications.The scheme has been supporting surgical interventions in complicated pregnancies arising from prolonged labour, maternal health conditions, foetal distress and previous caesarean sections.Beneficiaries reported relief under the cashless system. Deepika, a 28-year-old from Patiala, said she underwent a successful caesarean delivery after complications including anaemia. Her husband Manoj shared that “they were very happy that the procedures went smoothly and stress free with the cashless card.”On neonatal care, SHA data showed 2,094 infants received treatment under different packages. This included 881 infants under Basic Neonatal Care, 777 under Special Neonatal Care, 207 under Intensive Neonatal Care, 116 under Advanced Neonatal Care, 64 under Critical Neonatal Care, and 18 under prolonged care, including 17 chronic cases.
