Revised National Guidelines for implementation of the new Aama Programme

The Ministry of Health and Population has recently revised the national guidelines for implementation of the new Aama Programme, which combines free delivery care for all women at all public health facilities with safe delivery incentives to help them with their transport costs. Selected non-government facilities, such as missionary and non-profit NGO hospitals and some medical colleges, are also included. These guidelines are intended to help central level programme planners and district and health facility staff to ensure the programme is properly managed for the benefit of women. The guidelines (in Nepali) can be found in the Resources section of this website, under government documents
