Accepted Answer

The National Rural Health Mission NRHM created the Accredited Social Health Activist ASHA as a community health volunteer. The correct answer is A because of the following reasons:

Statement 1 is correct as ASHAs act as bridge between the community and health facilities, facilitating antenatal care visits.

Statement 2 is correct as they are trained to use Nishchay kits for early pregnancy detection to ensure timely care.

Statement 3 is correct because their primary role is health education, including counseling on nutrition, hygiene, and immunization.

Statement 4 is incorrect because ASHAs are not qualified medical professionals. They are trained to promote institutional deliveries but are not authorized to conduct the delivery of a baby themselves. This task is performed by Skilled Birth Attendants, Auxiliary Nurse Midwives, or Doctors.
