Social Health Activist
About 1.59 crore households covered in a Vulnerability Mapping Survey by 42000 ASHAs
About 1.59 crore households covered in a Vulnerability Mapping Survey by 42000 ASHAs
Posted On: 03 JUL 2020 2:08PM by PIB Delhi
Annapurna is an ASHA working in Tunganagar in
Shivamogga District, Karnataka. She covers a population of 3000 in the slum
area and has been working there since 2015, when urban ASHA were introduced as
part of the National Health Mission. One of her key tasks as part of COVID-19
activities is to conduct household surveys.
Karnataka’s 42,000 ASHAs have emerged as a crucial
pillar in the State’s success in combating COVID-19. They have been actively
participating in the COVID-19 household surveys and screening inter-state
passengers, migrant workers, and others in the community for symptoms of
COVID-19. Recognizing the increased vulnerability of certain population groups
to COVID-19, in a one-time survey to identify households with the elderly,
persons with co-morbidities, and immuno-compromised individuals, about 1.59
crore households were covered. ASHAs regularly monitor such high-risk groups in
their area with periodicity of follow-up visits varying from once a day in the
Containment Zones to once very 15 days in other areas. They also visit the
houses of persons expressing complaints of ILI/SARI symptoms, and high-risk
individuals who have called the State Health Department helpline numbers.
Uniquely, ASHAs are part of the Rural Task Force
headed by Panchayat Development Officer (PDO) at the Gram Panchayat level for
addressing public grievances on both COVID-19 and non COVID-19 related
services. Urban ASHAs have been on the forefront of dissemination of various
awareness activities in the Fever clinics and Swab Collection Centres in Urban
areas. They have also actively screened cases of ILI and SARI in the urban
areas. They are also part of the screening teams at the International and
Interstate check-posts.

More than 2 Crore N95 Masks & more than 1 Crore
PPEs distributed Free of Cost by Central Government to States
Posted On: 03 JUL 2020 12:37PM by PIB Delhi
Union Government along with
States/UTs has been relentlessly working for prevention, containment and
management of COVID-19. Union Government’s central role has been in
strengthening health infrastructure to fight the pandemic.
Along with augmenting COVID-19
facilities, Centre has been providing medical supplies free of cost to the
State/UT governments to supplement their efforts. Most of the products
supplied by Government of India (GOI) were not being manufactured in the
country in the beginning, and there was a global demand due to the pandemic
resulting in scare availability in the foreign markets.
However, with the combined
efforts of Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW), Ministry of
Textiles and Ministry of Pharmaceuticals, Department for Promotion of Industry
and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Defence Research and Development Organisation
(DRDO) and others, domestic industry has been encouraged to manufacture and
supply essential medical equipment like PPEs, N95 masks, ventilators etc.,
during this period. With the result, resolve for ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and ‘Make
in India’ has been strengthened and most of the supplies made by GOI are
domestically manufactured.
Since 1st April 2020, Centre has distributed more than 2.02 crore N95 masks and
more than 1.18 crore PPE kits to States / UTs / Central Institutions, free of
cost. Also, more than 6.12 crore HCQ tablets have been distributed to them.
In addition, so far, 11,300
‘Make in India’ ventilators have been dispatched to various States / UTs /
Central Institutions, out of which 6154 ventilators stand already delivered to
various hospitals. GOI is also ensuring their installation/commissioning. This
will help to bridge the massive gap in availability of ventilators in COVID ICU
facilities. MoHFW is also supplying 1.02 lakh oxygen cylinders to States/UTs,
out of which 72,293 have been delivered to strengthen oxygen beds there.
Till now, 7.81 lakh PPEs and
12.76 lakh N95 masks have been supplied in Delhi, 11.78 lakh PPEs and 20.64 N95
masks in Maharashtra, and 5.39 lakh PPEs and 9.81 lakh N95 masks in Tamil Nadu
by MoHFW.
