eHEALTH|March 2018

A team of auxiliary nurse midwives (ANMs) toiled tirelessly for two days, having undertaken the foot journey of over 1, 000 km to make mission Green Commando successful. Navigating through arduous and inhospitable terrains, despite harsh weather conditions, the team was resolute to immunise children in Madhya Pradesh’s PatiBlock, narrates Souvik Goswami of Elets News Network (ENN).

Health Transformation In Remote Areas Of Mp: The Story Of ‘Green Commandos'

 

The old adage ‘Where there’s a will, there’s a way’ stands true for the Pati block in Barwani district of the State which has overcome a long battle against diseases like measles and tetanus, courtesy the much hailed immunisation programme .

Launched in 2016 in Pati Block, one of the most backward blocks of India having low HDI (Human Development Index), this immunisation project was named Green Commando.

The aim of the mission Green Commando has been to vaccinate kids and pregnant women in the area having a high mortality rate.

Considering the topography and lack of accessibility, it was difficult to implement immunisation programme here. There were no roads and only hilly terrains in the block. It was impossible to approach and reach the villages on hilltops. Moreover, after Dussehra festival, villagers would migrate to big cities to earn their livelihood only to return for Bhagoria Festival in March.

Thanks to local administrative machinery’s motivation, a team of ANMs resolutely toiled for two days, covering over 1,000 km journey on foot for the success of the Green Commando mission.
