Correct option is A
Sol. Only trained MPWs and ANMs are authorized to insert IUDs at the sub-centre level, not ASHAs.
Explanation of each option:
· (a) MPW – Correct. MPWs (Multi-Purpose Workers) are specifically trained to perform minor medical procedures, including the insertion of IUDs (Intrauterine Devices) at the sub-centre level.
· (b) ASHA – Incorrect. ASHAs (Accredited Social Health Activists) are community health workers who focus on outreach and health education. They are not authorized or trained to insert IUDs.
· (c) Both – Incorrect. This option is wrong because while MPWs are trained for this procedure, ASHAs are not authorized to perform IUD insertions.
· (d) None – Incorrect. This is wrong because MPWs and ANMs are indeed authorized to insert IUDs, and saying "None" would incorrectly imply that no one is authorized.
