Role of Health Volunteers in Digital Interventions

Ensuring access to DBT for all patients in catchment area

Community Health Volunteers need to take a proactive role for awareness generation about the scheme and its benefits. They along with the team of TBHVs and PHI staff should ensure that NPY(Nikshay Poshan Yojana) is accessible to every patient in their catchment area. They should ensure that

• Al TB patients are aware of NPY and its availability at all PHIs/DTC, and with private treatment providers
• Registration of all TB patients on NIKSHAY portal
• Ensuring that the patient provides an authorized identity proof at the time of registration
• Providing her/his bank details so as to receive benefits for nutritional support through DBT at NIKSHAY

Channelize the patient issue(if any)

Community Health Volunteers should be well aware of the patient registration process in the digital ICT intervention steps of Nikshay. They should be able to channelize/help patients with the registration process and make the patient well aware of the various SMS that are triggered to the patient.

Community Health Volunteers should also inform about TB Aarogya Sathi App.
