Share on:

Introduction

The Home Based Newborn Care Plus (HBNC+) program of the National Health Mission (NHM) of India is one of the many initiatives aimed to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates (MMR & IMR). A key element of this program is periodic home visits by Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) every quarter until the first birthday of an infant where they perform a checklist of healthcare procedures to ensure healthy mothers and babies.

  • 20,000 Trained ASHA Worker Entered Infant Data
  • 4 Major States covered  In CHI
  • 800,000 Home Visits Data  Entered every Month

HBNC+ program

The Problem

High Infant Morbidity and Mortality

An estimated 6.3 million children under 15 years of age died in 2017, or 1 every 5 seconds. With these numbers, Infant deaths in India remained the highest in the world.

The main causes are High Rates of Pneumonia and Diarrhea. Inadequate knowledge of mothers / families on Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) and child rearing practices.

The Solution

Monitoring Structured Home visits by ASHAs

HBNC+ is an innovation being tried out under Norway India Partnership Initiative and is being implemented in 13 districts of the country in the four states of Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha and Rajasthan. ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist) goes to conduct structured home visitation at 3,6,9 and 12 months of child birth.

All the visits by ASHAs are monitored and tracked in the system. HBNC+ facilitates real time Data Entry. A user can enter data via any Mobile/ Computer device. The data of every household is entered into the system along with the details of new born children. Follow up reminder messages are sent to the parents as well for tracking of Low Birth Weight babies.

  • 2.4 mil. Home visit Data captured By the system
  • 70% Children Data captured And tracked
  • 700k Infant Data entered in CHI

Data Collection

Velocity’s system is used to enter the Data collected by ASHAs on new born children. The Data collected is Tracked using unique code given to each LBW Children. The system of velocity provides an approval process. The Data entered is approved by the supervisors to avoid any discrepancy in the Data.
