She has undergone different technical training such as: TB, Leprosy, RNTCP, Immunization, Eye, NCD, VHSND, MAA, Family Planning etc. This apart she has participated in the training on Gender, Social Inclusion and Respectful Care (GIRC) in Family Planning Services and Parivar Swasthya Vaani(PSV) organised at the Banapur CHC. According to her most of the training focus on technical contents, but none of these focuses on client satisfaction. The mobile-based platform (Parivar Swasthya Vaani) not only helps the clients but also the community level workers to improve their understanding on different family planning methods. In addition to this, she has also shared that most of the community level workers are female and they feel easy to counsel the female partners and the female partners counselled their male counterpart regarding contraception. But now they share the PSV-number with the couples which not only reduce the number of queries but also increase the number of clients by 5%. The client scheduling through PSV helps to limit the number of cases during FDS and improve quality of sterilisation service. Feedback channel also gave an opportunity to the clients to share their opinion about the service they availed in the facility. This will motivate the client that they have the rights to share their opinion and it is valued.
In order to maximize its benefits, she has decided to educate her co-workers regarding the importance & uses of Parivar Swasthya Vaani. She will also use the existing platforms to educate the clients to improve their understanding on different FP-methods, to have informed choices, know their rights and entitlements and overall the quality of Family Planning Services.
