Empowering Women through Technology
What sets e-SAATHI apart is its ability to empower women directly. With mobile-based access to clear and reliable health information, women gain the confidence to understand their bodies, ask questions, and make decisions without waiting for permission or relying solely on overburdened health workers. This autonomy helps break down barriers of low awareness, dependency, and restrictive norms, fostering ownership and dignity in their healthcare journeys.
e-SAATHI was recognised during the Good Governance Day 2024 in Dibrugarh, Assam, as a model of digital innovation in maternal health. It reflects how technology, when thoughtfully applied, can advance equitable healthcare and strengthen frontline systems.
Testimonials
The nutritional and self-care tips were reassuring, e-SAATHI was my companion in my journey to motherhood. It felt like someone was taking care of me, outside the hospital.
Ananya
Earlier, ASHA baideu had to call and remind us, and we would often forget. Now, the reminders come to my mobile—it’s in my hands every day, and that has been extremely helpful.
Bina
In my last pregnancy, I didn’t have anything like this. This time, I’m learning about what to eat, how to take care of myself, and when to go for check-ups—all from my phone.
Rajamoni
After losing my first pregnancy, I was scared. I didn’t know if I was doing things right. But this time, I had e-SAATHI—it gave me the confidence and knowledge I needed.
Purnima
I never knew how important it was to eat certain fruits, drink more water, or even avoid smoke while cooking on firewood. Now, I do.
Sonika Sawashi
After e-SAATHI’s message two months ago, we started saving for transport and other costs. Their reminders guide us at every step.
Shivarani Gogoi Barua
e-SAATHI reminded me about check-ups, vaccines, nutrition, and self-care. Earlier, I wasn’t so prepared, but this time I knew what to do.
Rakhi
The messages were like little reminders to take care of myself. I’d often neglect my own needs while caring for others, but e-SAATHI reminded me to rest and avoid rushing around.
Sakshi Gogoi
With e-SAATHI, I realised ANM and ASHA didis are there to help. Now I don’t hesitate to ask questions and demand proper care.
Deepa Nayak Guria
With e-SAATHI, they don’t wait for us to remind them as they come on their own. They already know when their checkup is due because the messages tell them so.
Sanmoni, ASHA
Few women in tea gardens own smartphones, but that doesn’t stop their eagerness to learn and care for themselves and their babies.
Prapti Sonowal, ASHA Facilitator
Now they call me themselves and remind me when their checkup is due. When I ask how they knew, they tell me that they got a message from e-SAATHI.
