ASHA Workers (Accredited Social Health Activists) from India were honored with the prestigious WHO Global Health Leaders Award in 2022. This recognition was given to acknowledge their outstanding contribution to public health, particularly in rural areas of India.
ASHA workers play a crucial role in improving maternal and child health outcomes, promoting health awareness, and ensuring access to essential health services in underserved communities. They act as a bridge between the community and the public health system, addressing health concerns at the grassroots level.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, ASHA workers were instrumental in conducting door-to-door health surveys, distributing essential medicines, raising awareness about vaccines, and assisting in the overall response to the pandemic.
The award underscores the significance of their work and highlights the importance of community health workers in achieving universal health coverage.
