To facilitate the ANM to record each beneficiary’s details including services provided to
them, in the RCH register, an instruction manual has been developed. This instruction manual
contains most of the RMNCH related information required by ANMs like working definitions
of many terms used in providing RMNCH services, brief write-up on Antenatal and Postnatal
Care and management of Anaemia at Sub-Centre level, measurement of fundal height during
pregnancy, calculation of expected number of beneficiaries, ready reckoner calendar for
calculation of expected date of delivery (EDD) National Immunization Schedule for
pregnant women, Infants and children and formats for monthly reporting of immunization
sessions etc. The manual would also be useful in training of ANMs.
