Answer 2

$\huge\mathfrak {Solution:}$

The Community Health workers are major role players in the promotion of reproductive health services and antenatal and postnatal care of women and children. They also help the government perform activities such as immunization on a large scale across the country.

One of the key components of the National Rural Health Mission is to provide every village in the country with a trained female community health activist ASHA or Accredited Social Health Activist.

ASHA- Accredited Social Health Activist

These are an all-female cadre of community health workers that have been constituted by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare under the National Rural Health Mission in 2006. They are the first point of address for any health-related issues faced by the poor sections of the population. They are involved with the primary health care of especially women and children of the poor and deprived.

Selected from the village itself and accountable to it, the ASHA will be trained to work as an interface between the community and the public health system. She must be a woman resident of the village married/ widowed/ divorced, preferably in the age group of 25 to 45 years. She should be a literate woman with due preference in selection to those who are qualified up to 10 standards wherever they are interested and available in good numbers.
