The National Commission for Women (NCW) has launched a WhatsApp helpline for expectant mothers around the country to get medical support. The NCW said that it has found that pregnant women are having trouble getting medical assistance, so it has agreed to launch a message-only helpline in addition to the email ID that is already operational.
"Expectant mothers from across the country can reach out to the Commission through its helpline number-- 9354954224-- which will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"A dedicated team at the Commission is looking after speedy redressal of grievances received from pregnant women regarding procuring of emergency medical help. The Commission can also be reached out on the email ID helpatncw@gmail.com," it said. PTI
The National Commission for Women (NCW) is a statutory body of the Indian government tasked with providing advice to the government on all policy issues concerning women.
The NCW's mission is to work for women's rights in India and to give a voice to their issues and concerns. Dowry, politics, faith, fair representation for women in the workplace, and the abuse of women for labour have all been topics of their campaigns. They have even spoken about police brutality against women.
