Content: In the state of Bihar, the healthcare system faces numerous challenges, particularly when it comes to maternal and child health. Despite efforts to improve healthcare infrastructure and services, the state continues to have some of the highest rates of maternal and child mortality in India.
One of the main challenges is the lack of access to quality healthcare facilities, especially in rural areas. Many women and children in Bihar do not have access to basic healthcare services, such as prenatal care, immunizations, and skilled birth attendants. This leads to preventable deaths and health complications.
Moreover, there is a shortage of trained healthcare professionals in the state, further exacerbating the issue.
