Govt launches ‘Saheli': ASHAs to help check illegal abortions in Haryana
Gurgaon: 'Saheli' is changing the lives of women like never before. Fifty thousand Sahelis — 20,000 ASHAs and 30,000 ANMs — are making daily calls and visits to pregnant women across the state for real-time monitoring and swift reporting of miscarriages. With a view to preventing unsafe and illegal abortions, a new initiative — Saheli programme — was launched by the health department on Wednesday, with ASHAs (accredited social health activists) directed to alert medical officers immediately on any miscarriage. Gurgaon has already implemented the new initiative. Seventeen villages that have less than 700 sex ratio at birth (SRB) for the last three consecutive years are being monitored more strictly. These villages are located in Bhora Kalan, Pataudi, Farukhnagar and Ghangola areas. Chief medical officer (Gurgaon) Dr Alka Singh said, "To tighten regulation, all registered medical practitioners (RMPs) must now source MTP kits exclusively from Life Line Medicare, Sushant Lok, while the supplier is mandated to submit monthly sales data for cross-verification." "Under the Saheli initiative, 3,120 ASHAs are now making daily calls to pregnant women for real-time monitoring and prompt miscarriage reporting in Gurgaon," the CMO said. Haryana's SRB fell from 916 in 2023 to 910 last year. Haryana has for decades struggled with a skewed sex ratio, often attributed to practices like female foeticide and a strong preference for a boy child. \ At 834, Haryana's SRB was the lowest among all Indian states when data was studied in the 2011 Census. The state improved its count to 923 by 2019 but started seeing a downward trend thereafter. Meanwhile, this constant care is not appreciated by all. "I understand they want to help, but it feels like I am under a microscope. Every day, a call, a visit — like I am being watched more than cared for. I am pregnant, not a suspect," Urmila Singla, a resident of Pataudi, said. Between Jan and May 2025, the district registered seven FIRs under the MTP Act and two under the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PC-PNDT) Act, reflecting increased vigilance and enforcement. Senior medical officers (SMOs) have been tasked with conducting fortnightly meetings with frontline health workers and monitoring birth and death registrations. Any unusual trends must be reported with explanations. Interestingly, in Gurgaon, 712 MTPs were recorded among women with more than one girl child, but none were flagged as suspicious, prompting the department to initiate reverse tracking in suspected cases involving over-the-counter MTP kit misuse. "We have also started to reverse trace the cases. Sahelis are told to inform about any miscarriages to their respective medical officers," the CMO added. Additionally, 23 suspected illegal MTP cases are under investigation by BAMS doctors, while 50 BHMS and 328 BAMS practitioners have been registered to support the initiative. The Saheli initiative is being hailed as a model for community-based maternal health surveillance, combining technology, grassroots engagement and regulatory oversight to protect women's health and uphold the law.
