Mother and Child Healthcare hospitals named after ‘Mai Daultan’
The Punjab Government has decided to name the 37 Mother and Child Healthcare (MCH) Hospitals being set up
in the state after ‘Mai Daultan’, who took care of Guru Nanak Dev at the time of his birth.
Health and Family Welfare Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu said the unique initiative of the Health Department would be a true and befitting tribute to Mai Daultan on the 550th Parkash Purb of Guru Nanak Dev.This decision would also provide due recognition to trained staff such as nurses, ANMs and other staff of the department and they will work with more courage, enthusiasm and diligence. 

Guru Nanak, also referred to as Baba Nanak, was the founder of Sikhism and is the first of the ten Sikh Gurus. His birth is celebrated worldwide as Guru Nanak Gurpurab on Katak Pooranmashi, i.e. October–November.
