Primary Health Centre (PHC) teams should refer identified high-risk pregnant women to higher health centres well in advance without waiting for the estimated date of delivery (EDD). PHCs, which do not have adequate facilities for handling emerging complications during the antenatal, intranatal, and postnatal period, should counsel pregnant women in advance for referral to higher centres for safe confinement, according to the latest instructions on ‘Birth Planning’ issued by the Directorate of Public Health and Preventive Medicine.
