ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist) workers

ASHAs, or Accredited Social Health Activists, are trained female health workers in India who serve as intermediaries between communities and the healthcare system. They promote health awareness, facilitate access to basic health services, support maternal and child health, and assist in disease prevention campaigns. Working closely with local communities, ASHAs help improve health outcomes by providing information, encouraging healthy practices, and connecting people to clinics and medical professionals. Their role is vital in ensuring that underserved populations receive essential healthcare and health education, fostering healthier communities through community-based support.
