The experts emphasised balanced nutrition, emotional well-being, positive thinking and the importance of timely medical consultation during pregnancy.
They also underlined the vital role played by families and society in creating a supportive environment for expectant mothers. The event also featured an insightful panel discussion with experts from Command Hospital (Northern Command) and distinguished outstation speakers.
Addressing the gathering, Shinei Sharma, Regional President AWWA, underscored that a healthy and happy mother forms the cornerstone of a strong family and a progressive Nation. She reaffirmed AWWA’s unwavering commitment towards the welfare, health and empowerment of Army families.
