The State government of telangana announced paid maternity leave for all Accredited Social health Activists (ASHA) employees on Monday, marking a significant step towards supporting these field-level healthcare workers who are the foundation of primary healthcare services and effective implementation of State-run public health initiatives.

At a review meeting on ASHA and auxiliary nurse midwives (ANMs) in telangana on Monday, state health minister T. harish rao made a decision about maternity leave. The health Minister recognized the vital role that ASHAs and ANMS play in providing high-quality healthcare to the populace at large.


In the past, ASHA employees had turned to rallies and demonstrations to get pay increases and prompt payment. However, since becoming a state, ASHA employee pay has risen. ASHAs currently make Rs 9,750 a month, whereas their equivalents in states controlled by the bjp and congress only make Rs 4,000 to Rs 5,000.

Senior health authorities have been instructed by the health minister to undertake a thorough investigation of the implementation of paid maternity leave for ASHAs and ANMs. A thorough report detailing the study's findings is anticipated, underscoring the government's dedication to recognizing and defending the well-being of these front-line healthcare providers. telangana health Day is marked on june 14 as part of the ongoing 21-day festivities honouring telangana Formation Day Decennial Celebrations. harish rao has also instructed all the state's healthcare professionals to contribute to the success of the day.
