WHO honours India`s one million all-women ASHA volunteers for ‘outstanding’ work in advancing global health

WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said, “Among the honourees is ASHA, which means hope in Hindi. The more than 1 million female volunteers in India were honoured for their crucial role in linking the community with the health system, to ensure those living in rural poverty get access to primary health care services, as shown throughout the COVID-19 pandemic."
