Under the National Rural Health Mission, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Govt. of India initiated this program, with the aim of providing effective and accessible health facilities for the rural masses with the national goal of “Health for Everyone”. Rapid increase in the population, poverty, lack of education, as well as shortage of doctors in the rural areas, comes a constant realization that there is a need to provide formal training to the such prospective students among the masses, who can extend significant contribution to the rural hospitals and health centres.
The programme aims to train and prepare skilled health workers. These trained persons will work in the rural masses as a health worker as well as facilitators for creating health awareness, knowledge of healthy environment, health and hygiene and first aid, and assist in getting appropriate treatment for the patient in emergency situations. After completing this course, the trainees shall have job opportunities as an assistant/health worker in hospitals, nursing homes, and health centre.
