More than 1.16 crore antenatal check-ups conducted at over 12,900 health facilities.
The first claim is that ‘more than 1.16 crore antenatal check-ups conducted at over 12,900 health facilities’. [...] In a question answered in the Lok Sabha in July 2018, it is stated that ‘since its inception in 2016, free quality antenatal services are provided to all pregnant women visiting 13047 PMSMA sites across the country. Over 1.35 crore antenatal check-ups have been conducted under the progamme till date’. However, this is not the first ever program on antenatal care. The previous governments also had dedicated antenatal care programs. [...] Fact: 1.35 crore antenatal check-ups have been conducted under the progamme. Hence, the claim is TRUE.
