ASHAs in Rajasthan: Selfless commitment to people
in the long fight against COVID-19
Posted On: 05 JUL 2020 2:38PM by PIB Delhi
In Rajasthan, the COVID-19 pandemic coincided with
the harvest season. Most ASHAs, are also expected by their families in
supporting harvesting activities. This year though, the intensive involvement
of the ASHAs in the pandemic prevented most of them from doing so, leading to
considerable resentment and resistance from their families. This was no
different for Gogi Devi, but she continued with tenacity to serve as an ASHA
and fulfil her role as social mobilizer, community level care provider
and link worker for the health facility.
Her efforts were rewarded when the Pradhan of the
Gram Panchayat publicly applauded her role in COVID related measures for
prevention and containment. This changed her family’s perspective towards her
work, who started appreciating her commitment towards her work. For Gogi Devi,
her community’s acknowledgment and recognition of her work are strong
motivation to sustain her to carry on tirelessly. .
The work of ASHAs as integral pillars of COVID-19
response started immediately after the first case was diagnosed in early March
this year in Jaipur. On March 8, all 9876 Gram Panchayats of Rajasthan
organised a special Gram Sabha, in which ASHAs took the lead in explaining
COVID-19 modes of transmission, precautions and control measures, since they
had all been trained in preparation for this public activity. This strategic
initial effort was the key in securing the support of the Gram Panchayat
representatives in ensuring prevention and control measures in their
jurisdiction and also in supporting ASHAs and other frontline workers to
undertake their tasks without any hindrance.
The contribution of the ASHAs, in collaboration
with the state’s Auxiliary Nurse Midwives (ANMs), enabled reaching out to households
for active surveillance and information dissemination. In the midst of all this
and while being vigilant about anyone with symptoms, ASHAs also continued to provide
care for pregnant women, new-borns and children. They also mobilized transport
to health facilities in cases when ambulances were not available.
Various ASHAs like Gogi Devi have played a critical
role in spreading awareness about the symptoms and precautions against
COVID-19. This has helped immensely in containment of the disease. They used
the community trust and knowledge of the local social factors to build
confidence among the people to support government efforts in containment and
management of COVID-19.
Glimpses from Rajasthan: ASHAs at work against
COVID-19
