Healthy Mother - trying to make natural child birth a natural phenomenon again
Healthcare facilities have improved a lot in the urban areas of India in the last decade. With the advent of newer technology in healthcare, performing surgeries have become easier. Doctors are revered but surgeries are often dreaded as they are done mostly as the last resort. At least we choose to believe it’s the case. However, some facts will tell us otherwise. When child birth is a natural phenomenon, then why is caesarean, also known as a C-section, on a rise in India? The commercialization of healthcare has led to the tremendous increase in this number in the urban areas. Lack of information and the consequent fear of the process of child birth also contribute largely to this situation. Krishnan C. Sakotai and his wife Vijaya Sakotai are trying to make natural child birth a natural phenomenon again. They have founded Healthy Mother Wellness & Care Pvt. Ltd. to promote natural child births and the scientific mid-wifery model. We caught up with Krishnan to understand Healthy Mother’s mission and vision. Watch what he has to say about it:
