The roles and responsibilities of ASHA include all except?

Correct option is B

Sol. ASHAs are not primarily responsible for medical treatment under IMNCI (Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood Illness) as this is mainly done by trained health professionals like ANMs or doctors. ASHAs focus more on basic care, awareness, and referral.
Explanation of each option:
· (a) Provide primary medical care for minor illnesses like diarrhoea – ASHAs are trained to manage simple ailments using basic medication kits.
· (b) Provide medical care using IMNCI guidelines – This is beyond ASHA’s training level; IMNCI protocols are usually followed by higher-level health workers.
· (c) Provide DOTS treatment – ASHAs play a key role in DOTS by supporting tuberculosis patients in taking treatment regularly.
· (d) Create awareness about nutrition and basic sanitation – Promoting hygiene and healthy practices is a major responsibility of ASHAs.
