Lady Goschen Hospital has emerged as a leader among district government hospitals in the state for achieving zero maternal mortality in cases involving abortion, according to findings from a comprehensive survey. The Health and Family Welfare Department, working alongside the Ipas Development Foundation, conducted the assessment to evaluate maternal health outcomes across district hospitals in the region.

The recognition reflects the hospital's commitment to implementing safe abortion practices and comprehensive maternal healthcare protocols. Lady Goschen Hospital's performance underscores the importance of institutional capacity-building and adherence to evidence-based medical standards in reducing preventable maternal deaths.
