Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that he is "delighted that the entire team of ASHA workers have been conferred the WHO Director-General's Global Health Leaders' Award".

New Delhi: ASHA, which means "hope" in English, comprises more than one million female volunteers. The World Health Organization Director-General's Global Health Leaders Awards has recognised ASHA's “crucial role in linking the community with the health system and ensuring that those living in rural poverty can access primary health care services”.

WHO added that ASHA workers, throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, have “ensured  living in rural poverty can access primary health care services.”

WHO, in a Twitter thread, said, that the all-women workers “provide maternal care and immunisation for children against vaccine-preventable diseases; community health care; treatment for hypertension and tuberculosis and core areas of health promotion for nutrition, sanitation and healthy living.”
