Maharashtra launches health initiative for ASHA workers

Maharashtra is set to launch the "ASHA Nirogi Maharashtra" health initiative, aimed at enhancing public healthcare. The program will provide advanced training and digital resources to the state's 63,000 ASHA workers, who play a key role in health services. The initiative will include structured training on various health topics through workshops and online courses. ASHA workers will also have access to a new digital platform, I-Learn, featuring video modules and a mobile-friendly health booklet. Additionally, over 55,000 ASHA workers are already connected through WhatsApp groups for real-time communication. An app is being developed, and workers will soon receive tablets to improve reporting methods.
