Tata Steel Foundation (TSF), in collaboration with HSBC, will provide electric scooters to women frontline healthcare workers in rural areas for easy and quick access of maternal and neonatal care in remote areas of Kolhan region in Jharkhand.
Informing about the initiative, Tata Steel’s corporate social responsibility chief Sourav Roy said: “TSF in collaboration with HSBC will give out 565 electric scooters to sahiya sathis and selected auxiliary nurse midwifery (ANMs) in three districts — West Singhbhum, East Singhbhum and Seraikela-Kharsawan — of the Kolhan region.
“If we get a good response, we would try to expand the project gradually, in association with National Health Mission (NHM) Jharkhand, to other blocks having problems in maternal and neonatal care.”
