iCHA of the Year | Celebrating Care at the Last Mile 🤍
“I learned how to listen before I learned how to measure.”
Binoti Bhakat joined iKure from Ghatshila on 10th August 2024. In just two months of training, she learned to check blood pressure, blood sugar, oxygen levels, and more—but most importantly, she learned how to support pregnant women with confidence, dignity, and care.
From going door to door, guiding mothers on nutrition and precautions, to supporting young first-time mothers aged 18–19 and connecting them to doctors when needed—Binoti represents what last-mile healthcare truly looks like.
Through our collaboration with MSD for Mothers, iKure is strengthening maternal healthcare in rural India by empowering local women as trained iKure Community Health Activists (iCHAs). Because safer pregnancies begin with trust, access, and care delivered where it’s needed most—at home.
Today, we celebrate Binoti.
And the thousands of iCHAs who are quietly changing maternal health outcomes, one household at a time.
