Arogya Nandana Initiative

Subject – Governance

Context – The Karnataka government has decided to test various health parameters of its over 1.5 crore population of children ahead of an anticipated third wave of Covid-19.

Concept –

  • A new initiative to test all children for COVID­19 in Karnataka.
  • With Anganwadis remaining closed, the government has come up with a micro plan including Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) workers and Anganwadi teachers, who have collated information on children in each village (ward in rural areas) aged up to 18. The medical officer from the concerned primary health centre along with the Rashtriya Bal SwasthyaKaryakram (RBSK) mobile team will then decide on a date and venue at each village where the health screening activity will take place.
