A union of Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) has written to Telangana Health Commissioner, complaining that they have been directed to feed survey reports online but not given smartphones or digital tablets to facilitate the process.
ASHAs conduct door-to-door survey to collect information on health status of the population such as blood pressure, sugar levels, pregnancy, etc. They played a key role during the COVID-19 pandemic too. Earlier, they used to log the details in notebooks. “Now, we have been asked to upload details online, but not provided phones to do so,” an ASHA said.
