The Greater Chennai Corporation has asked pregnant women to register their maternity period particulars on the state health department's Pregnancy Infant Cohort Monitoring and Evaluation (PICME) database. 

Chennai Corporation asks pregnant women to register on database.

Registration on PICME, which was made mandatory in January earlier this year can be done by visiting the nearest urban primary health centre or government hospitals and medical college hospitals.

An initiative of the public health department's Reproductive and Child Health (RCH) scheme, PICME registration has helped bring down maternal mortality ratio as the government is able to monitor the health of pregnant women registered on the database.
