Abstract
The case throws the light on the struggle of a lower level health care worker working in rural area. Amita, an ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activists) devotes nearly 7 months to convincing a family on the benefits of health care check-ups during pregnancy (ANC check-ups) and for institutional delivery. At the end, not only she could convince the mother to attend ANC check-ups, but also saved her life. However, the case raises several questions and concerns on the role of an ASHA. The case also explores the extent to which participation in the primary health care program and government policy has empowered ASHA with specific focus on the issues of leadership, training, empowerment and linkages to the system.
