Empowering ASHA Workers

Empowering ASHA Workers for a #CervicalCancerMuktBharat”
Tresna Foundation, in collaboration with CAPED India, is making significant strides towards a #CervicalCancerMuktBharat. Through continued efforts, we are reshaping the future of women’s health in rural regions.
A special thanks to CDHO (Kheda District) Dr. V. A. Dhruve Sir for their presence and invaluable ASHA worker raise awareness effectively as they are working at grassroot level in rural communities having connected with rural interior region women and THO Dr. Rohit Rana Sir for their guidance in this inaugural training session for ASHA workers held recently. Mrs. Rangoli Bakshi, Founder & Director of Tresna Foundation, and Dr. Krishna Patel, Director of Tresna Foundation, also graced the occasion with their presence.
Led by Mrs. Rohini Chandra – Project Head for CAPED from Tresna Foundation, and Mr. Ravi Sisodiya – Head of Operations (Implementations) from CAPED India, the training equipped 43 ASHA workers (15 from PHC Palana and 28 from PHC Pij in Vaso Taluka, Kheda District, Gujarat) with the knowledge and skills for the fight against cervical cancer.
Now the ASHA workers can actively raise awareness and conduct life saving cervical cancer screenings for women of the region. They can create awareness effectively as they are work at the grassroots level in rural communities and are well connected with the women in rural and interior regions. This grassroots training lays the foundation for sustainable health practices within these communities.
Historically, limited resources and lack of awareness have created significant barriers for women accessing healthcare. Our efforts aim to address these challenges and ensure women’s health is prioritised.
Certificates were awarded to participants, marking a significant step forward in our fight against cervical cancer.
