IMPACT: A health center reopens for villagers in Jamdih, Jharkhand

Under National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), each Sub-Centre is required to be manned by at least one Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM) / Female Health Worker and one Male Health Worker.

Jeeramuni Devi, among other participants received video training by Community Correspondent Shanti Baraik. Shanti was part of a larger group that received Participatory Video training targeted at the community.
