  • Care of Newborn in the Community and at Home
    OPEN Journal of Perinatology (2016) 36, S13–S17 www.nature.com/jp REVIEW Care of newborn in the community and at home SB Neogi1, J Sharma1, M Chauhan1, R Khanna2, M Chokshi1, R Srivastava3, PK Prabhakar3, A Khera3, R Kumar3, S Zodpey1 and VK Paul4 India has contributed immensely toward generating evidence on two key domains of newborn care: Home Based Newborn Care (HBNC) and community mobilization. In a model developed in Gadchiroli (Maharashtra) in the 1990s, a package of Interventions delivered by community health workers during home visits led to a marked decline in neonatal deaths. On the basis of this experience, the national HBNC program centered around Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) was introduced in 2011, and is now the main community- level program in newborn health. Earlier in 2004, the Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood Illnesses (IMNCI) program was rolled out with inclusion of home visits by Anganwadi Worker as an integral component. IMNCI has been implemented in 505 districts in 27 states and 4 union territories. A mix of Anganwadi Workers, ASHAs, auxiliary nursing midwives (ANMs) was trained. The rapid roll out of IMNCI program resulted in improving quality of newborn care at the ground field. However, since 2012 the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare decided to limit the IMNCI program to ANMs only and leaving the Anganwadi component to the stewardship of the Integrated Child Development Services. ASHAs, the frontline workers for HBNC, receive four rounds of training using two modules. There are a total of over 900 000 ASHAs per link workers in the country, out of which, only 14% have completed the fourth round of training.

Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies, Mumbai, India 60 International Journal of Policy Sciences and Law Volume 1, Issue 1 Abstract The diverse roles and activities of community health throughout history have been appreciated across programmes in various countries. In a plethora of cases, CHWs perform a range of different and equally challenging tasks that can be preventive, curative and developmental. CHWs have played an integral role while battling medical emergencies right from Ebola to COVID-19. Our study endeavoured to establish the role played by them in the past and found the acute structural challenges faced by them in the Indian context. Through the medium of this paper we have talked about the steps that are being taken by the Anganwadi Workers — the CHWs of India such as recording people’s travel history from door to door, noting flu symptoms and, where needed, even helping trace contacts. Our Study also tried to grasp the significant role that they're playing to control this pandemic and suggested measures to do this with more efficiency.
