Community health monitoring analysis

Community health monitoring analysis

Health monitoring and supervision have always been a challenge for most workers on-ground. The lack of facilities, infrastructure, training, and awareness on-ground poses a few of the many challenges.

Leading humanitarian organizations are exploring their options to enhance the supervision programs. This would help to reach out to a greater audience with medical aids. CRS Catholic Relief Services is exploring ways to support scale-up programs for ASHA’s Accredited Social Health Activists and has tied up with Sarathi Development Foundation to support the scale-up programs under the aegis of the National Health Mission. The ReMiND project aims to strengthen systematic supportive supervision of ASHAs. To help improve their performance by improved knowledge and skills of ASHA Sangini. The technology helped strengthen supportive supervision by providing real-time data on ASHA performance. By supportive supervision, automated reports at different levels, and real-time evidence-based decision-making, an efficient and transparent system was formed.
