Imphal, Sep. 25 (EMN): For smooth implementation of Pre Conception and Pre Natal Diagnostic Technique Act (PC & PNDT) in the State, so far 115-ultrasound machines, both in private and government hospitals, have been registered.
With the formation of implementing bodies like State Supervisory Board (SSB); State Advisory Committee (SAC) and State Appropriate Authority (SAA), the PC and PNDT Act was fully implemented in Manipur from the year 2003 The main purpose of enacting the PC & PNDT act is to ban the use of sex selection techniques after conception and prevent the misuse of prenatal diagnostic technique for sex selective abortion.
