Uttar Pradesh To Get 'M-Sakhi' App Aimed At Improving Maternal Health.

by The Daily Eye Team September 21 2015, 3:30 pm Estimated Reading Time: 0 mins, 35 secs

A mobile application ‘m-sakhi’ will be launched in five districts of Uttar Pradesh from October, to streamline and supervise the work of ASHA, ANM and anganwadi workers in the state. The efforts by Accredited social health activists (ASHA), Auxiliary Nurse Midwives (ANM) and anganwadi workers will now be supervised through multimedia-enabled ‘m-sakhi’ application and the ‘m-sehat’ programme. The move is aimed to front line health workers in improving maternal, neonatal and child health. Qualcomm, providing technical support to the project, has signed an agreement with state agency State Innovations in Family Planning Services Agency (SIFSA) and National Health Mission through ‘IntraHealth’.
