ASEWA Punjab Master Trainer in Sanour, while conducting a session on mental health of pregnant ladies, came across a pregnant woman in dire needof tetanus and other trimester injections. However, due to some reason, the government health worker of the area refused to make her a pregnancy card. This session with the master trainer helped the pregnant woman to speak up and she was able to ask our master trainer for assistance in receiving her health entitlement. The master trainer having being trained by SEWA in aiding women to access health resources, went with her to the dispensary and showed the government health worker all the documents, and clarified the doubts regarding her age as mentioned on her Aadhaar card. Thanks to these efforts, the pregnancy card was made, and she got the required injections on time
