The incentives were announced by the health department with an aim to improve the health indicators including maternal mortality ratio (MMR) and infant mortality rate (IMR) in the state. The 10 districts are identified as high-focus districts because of their not so good health indicators. The health department expects that the incentives to the doctors would help them in improving the health indicators as it would encourage the doctors to perform more effectively.
The 10 districts are - Barmer, Jaisalmer, Jalore, Udaipur, Rajsamand, Banswara, Dungarpur, Bundi, Dholpur and Karauli.
