ASHA Worker Training Programme

The Government of India has launched a National Rural Health Mission in all states and UN territories to address the health needs of rural population, especially the vulnerable sections of the society. The sub center is the most peripheral level of contact with the community under the public health infrastructure. This caters to the population norm of 3000 - 5000. The worker in sub center is an ANM who is directly involved in all the health issues of this population, which is spread over the wide area of many kilometers and covering 5 to 8 villages. Many a times the villages are not connected by public or private transport system making her more difficult to achieve the objectives and goals of providing quality health care for the poor and oppressed sections of the society. So the new band of community based functionaries, named as Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) is proposed in the NRHM who will serve the population of 1000 and 500 in hilly and desert terrene.

ASHA is the first port of call for any health related demands of deprived sections of the population, especially women, children, old aged, sick and disabled people. She is the link between the community and the health care provider.

Department of Medical and Health at State and at Center is looking at ASHA as a change agent who will bring the reforms in improving the health status of oppressed community of India. The investment on ASHA will definitely result in to better health indicators of state and at large the country.

The objective of National Rural Health Mission is to provide and improve the quality of health services in rural areas. The 8th class pass village residents (womem) were selected for the training program. They would act as an ASHA Worker after attending the entire schedule of the training program.
