With reference to the 'Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan', consider the following statements :

Correct Option (B):

Statement 2 is correct. The Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan (PMSMA) encourages private sector healthcare providers, particularly specialists like obstetricians, gynaecologists, and radiologists, to volunteer their services. These services are provided free of cost at designated government health facilities on the 9th of every month, supplementing the government's efforts to ensure comprehensive antenatal care.

Incorrect Options:

Statement 1 is incorrect. While PMSMA guarantees a minimum package of antenatal care services to women during their second and third trimesters of pregnancy, it does not extend to providing six months of post-delivery healthcare services. Postnatal care, including services for six months post-delivery, falls under the purview of other broader reproductive and child health schemes, such as the Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakram (JSSK).

• Option 1 is incorrect because Statement 1 is factually inaccurate regarding the inclusion of post-delivery care.
• Option 3 is incorrect as Statement 1 is incorrect.
• Option 4 is incorrect because Statement 2 is correct.
