A survey was carried out from April to May 2017 by Birth for Change Foundation Midwives and Nurses in partnership with Network for Information and Digital Access (NIDA) and Hardy Wren Development Initiative (HWDI), with an aim to gain an understanding of the situation of women in a South Indian urban slum. This report details the findings of the survey and aims to inform and enhance focus on improving maternal health literacy in disadvantaged communities.
The survey has been followed by initiation of health classes and a clinic, which will be subsequently evaluated.
