My new add shoot ,Asha bahu” refers to an Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) worker, a female community health worker in India. ASHAs are a key component of the National Rural Health Mission and act as a bridge between the community and the public health system. They are selected from the village itself and are trained to create awareness about health, mobilize the community, and facilitate access to healthcare services. Here’s a more detailed breakdown: Role: ASHAs are primarily women, typically aged 25-45, who live in the village and are selected for their literacy and community connections. They are trained to educate the community on health issues, promote healthy behaviors, and help people access healthcare services. National Rural Health Mission: The ASHA program is a central part of the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), aiming to improve healthcare access in rural India. Community Engagement: ASHAs play a vital role in community participation in healthcare and are accountable to the village they serve. Challenges: While ASHAs are crucial to the healthcare system, they are often not classified as government employees and face challenges related to low and irregular payments, lack of social security benefits, and insufficient training.
