Rajasthan has become a pioneer state in terms of setting up laboratories to train ANM (Auxiliary Nurse Midwifery) and GNM (General Nursing and Midwives) in nourishment courses for the health of mothers and infants.
Chief minister Vasundhara Raje launched 47 such modern labs on Tuesday, along with initiating ‘Rajsangam’ programme which is a part of Akshada program being run by the state government with the assistance of Tata Trust and Antara Foundation.
“Rajasthan has become first state in the county where such modern labs equipped with latest instruments have been set for pre-service nursing education program. This costs Rs12.5 crore to the government. Of them, 33 labs are for ANM training and 14 for GNM,” said a statement released by the CMO.
On this occasion, Raje stressed the need for using information technology (IT) to improve maternity services. “Nourishment levels of mother and child have been improved under Akshada programme. A big change is expected under the program when it gets implemented further with the help of IT,” said Raje.
The Antara Foundation’s Akshada program focuses on the critical ‘1000 days’ between conception and age two. It is designed to influence the most critical markers of maternal and child health such as maternal anaemia, neo-natal and infant mortality and immunisation
Raje said that under the program over 2,600 villages have been mapped so far in Jhalawar and Baran districts. “It is important to note that workers at grassroots level have been connected under the program. Aasha, ANM and Anganwadi workers (triple A) who work as frontline workers for mother and child health improvement have been brought together under the program and villages mapping is on.” The CM has also revealed a app ‘Triple A’, a comics titled ‘Hum he Triple A’ and a CD on ‘Jago Ri Kishori’.
