The Aaghosh Health & Nutrition Conditional Cash Transfer Program
The Aaghosh program is working to implement improved healthcare facilities, trained staff, immunization facilities to encourage women to opt for hospital-based deliveries. This has been actioned by implementing the Health & Nutrition Conditional Cash Transfer (H&N CCT) program, for eligible pregnant and lactating women with children up to 2 years of age. Pregnant and lactating mothers can be registered in the Aaghosh program via the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) App by Lady Health Visitors (LHVs) at public health facilities (Basic Health Units and Rural Health Centers), and receive Conditional Cash Transfers as per the schedule of visits listed below.
