Abhinav Swasthya Kendra (ASK)

Strengthening Maternal & Child Health in Rural Uttar Pradesh

Driving the maternal health program UP through the Abhinav Swasthya Kendra FSC. This rural child health initiative pioneers antenatal care outreach, ensures institutional delivery facilitation, and broadens rural health awareness FSC.

A Government-Supported Rural Health Initiative

(Under Uttar Pradesh Health System Development Project)

The Abhinav Swasthya Kendra (ASK) was implemented by the Foundation for Social Care (FSC) in Maizapur, District Gonda, as part of the Uttar Pradesh Health System Development Project.

ASK was designed to strengthen rural maternal and child health systems through:

  • Structured antenatal care
  • Immunization coverage
  • Institutional delivery facilitation
  • Community-level health education

At a time when rural health indicators required focused intervention, FSC worked at the grassroots to ensure public health services reached women and children in remote villages.
