MCWC Hospital started functioning from 15th Aug’ 1975 to reduce infant and maternal Mortality. High rate of Infant and Maternal Mortality is only because of inadequate care during pregnancy and childbirth. The National Population policy strongly emphasized that 100% deliveries should be institutionalized and any untrained person should conduct no delivery. But still most of the deliveries in our region are conducted either by untrained birth attendants (DHAI) and hence the rate of Infant and Maternal mortality is still alarming. The well being of societies is directly linked to the health and survival of the mothers and children. The Center which was started with only 10 beds and 05 cabins has now been expanded to 50 beds and 21 cabins and continuously offering a range of clinical services like OPD, IPD, Surgery, etc.
