For frontline field officer Yasmin and project officer Mohammad Khalid Raza, who function in the district of Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, it was quite an ordeal to follow up on a pregnant-positive woman during the lockdown. She was due for delivery end of March. Yasmin and Raza were able to procure an emergency pass and arrange for standby ambulance services to ensure an institutional safe delivery on her due date. Thanks to their detailed planning, when the time finally came on March 31, they were able to reach her to hospital. And just as well, for due to some complications the condition of the newborn became critical. The frontline workers then worked to extend the stay of mother and child in the hospital and even managed to get the father permission to bring in essentials for both mother and child.
