Kerala ASHA workers on warpath
Deccan ChronicleThiruvananthapuram: The high social and health indicators of Kerala are indisputably bolstered by its robust healthcare setup, but it is the tireless efforts of Accredited Social Health Activists workers at the grassroots level that have been instrumental in driving these achievements. Key tasks carried out by ASHA workers include conducting home visits for palliative care, regular health check-up of elderly people, ensuring timely vaccination of children, assisting in OP wings, reporting on the health of pregnant women, tracking births and deaths besides assisting in awareness programmes. These tasks demonstrate the critical role ASHA workers play in supporting community health and well-being. Kerala with its significant elderly population of 16.5 per cent and high prevalence of lifestyle diseases like diabetes, blood pressure and hypertension, relies heavily on ASHA workers to monitor the health of its most vulnerable citizens. CPI state secretary Binoy Viswam said that the LDF government should concede the ASHA workers' demands at the earliest.
