They're pushing hard to fight anemia in the Ramban district. The local health department ramped up its Anaemia Mukt Bharat campaign with a special training session for doctors and female health staff, focusing on the key role of ASHA workers. These community workers were taught strategies for prevention and management, with medical experts training them to identify cases early through regular home visits and community outreach.
A doctor named Reyaz mentioned the program aims to fix gaps and begin real grassroots work, starting with distributing specific medicines. ASHA workers will give weekly Iron Folic Acid syrup to young children, monitoring intake closely, and will provide different colored tablets to older kids and teenagers. Another doctor, Ankula, said the workers were briefed on conducting door-to-door visits for proper medicine distribution, encouraging mothers to eventually administer doses themselves. The overall goal is to make the district free of anemia through sustained community effort and early detection.
