Gyanmati is a 35-year-old woman living in the Kusumpur Pahari slum community in Delhi with her husband, an auto-rickshaw driver and their three children. Gyanmati’s life took a turn when she started experiencing frequent and debilitating periods in 2021, which deteriorated her health, and she became anaemic and weak.
During one of the general clinics, she shared this issue with the Asha health team, and they started her medications to help her condition. Despite their best efforts, Gyanmati’s health continued to decline. Hence, the Senior Nurse practitioner referred Gyanmati to the Asha polyclinic at R.k.puram for further diagnosis and treatment. There, she underwent a series of tests, including ultrasound, biopsy, and blood tests. The doctor at the polyclinic diagnosed that Gyanmati had a uterus problem requiring surgery and referred her to a prominent government hospital in New Delhi, under Asha referral care, where she was given the priority treatment she needed. After a successful surgery, Gyanmati is back on her feet, feeling better, and showing a healthy recovery. The health team and community health volunteers regularly visit and care for her. Gyanmati is ever grateful to Asha’s health for the timely intervention she received and for saving her life from serious complications.
