Incidentally, the MCH wing was initially proposed within the GMCH premises and the maps for the same had been approved by Yelikar. MGM has established a model 100-bed MCH wing at Sewagram in Wardha. Subsequently, the public welfare department has issued a NOC to demolish the old wards to pave way for the construction of the MCH wing at GMCH. This is why we should get the MCH wing,” Yelikar said in a letter to Sawant.The MCH wing is a project of the National Health Mission’s (NHM) comprehensive reproductive, maternal, newborn and child and adolescent health (RMNCH+A)..
