Princhi Tamuli, Dhananjay Boro
Abstract
The health of a nation's population determines it`s social development. ASHA works at lower level through decentralization .Financial constraints are one of the major barriers to healthcare for marginalized section of the society, including parturient women in many low income and middle income countries like India. Regardless of socioeconomic, demographic, or obstetric differences, women received more antenatal care, skilled delivery, and postnatal care from ASHA scheme. The fee-free policy benefits the economically disadvantaged population in particular, as it has been shown to increase their access to skilled care during pregnancy and delivery. ASHA workers may play an important role in promoting prenatal care, increasing the link between ANC contacts and institutional delivery. In the present study, ASHA was found to be the major facilitator for receipt of ANC services like early registration, three or more ANC visits, two TT injections and natal care by Recently Delivered Women .The study shows that frontline health workers need further technical training to provide integrated counseling on all aspects of postnatal care.
