Observation Capability for Improving Maternal Healthcare
Aastrika, aims to improve maternal healthcare for women in remote villages of India. Partnering with the Government of Uttar Pradesh, Aastrika has adopted ELEVATE’s Observation capability to assess and enhance the competencies of ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist) workers. Using observation forms and rubrics, the platform evaluates healthcare workers across key skills such as basic maternal care, delivery support, among others. Senior medical professionals conduct assessments, generating scores and insights that highlight strengths and areas for improvement.
These insights guide the design of targeted training and mentorship programs, empowering ASHA workers to deliver high-quality care. By addressing competency gaps, Aastrika strengthens healthcare delivery, ensuring better support for pregnant women in underserved and remote regions of India.
