UPSC 2024: With reference to the ‘Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan’, consider the following statements: 1. This scheme guarantees a minimum package of antenatal care services to women in their second and third trimesters of pregnancy and six months post-delivery health care service in any government health facility. 2. Under this scheme, private sector health care providers of certain specialities can volunteer to provide services at nearby government health facilities. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
(a)1 only
(b)2 only
(c)Both 1 and 2
(d)Neither 1 nor 2
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 2 only
PMSMA provides assured, free antenatal care on the 9th of every month specifically to women in their 2nd and 3rd trimesters; it does not cover six-month post-delivery services, so Statement 1 is incorrect. The scheme explicitly encourages private obstetricians, radiologists and physicians to volunteer at nearby government facilities, making Statement 2 correct ([pib.gov.in](https://www.pib.gov.in/PressReleseDetailm.aspx?PRID=1845078&utm_source=openai)). Hence only Statement 2 is correct (option b).
