Why it matters

Step back for a minute and put yourself in their shoes

India is drawing global attention for transformations that have significantly improved standards of living — but that change is largely an urban phenomenon. The rural population continues to suffer economic deprivation, and the emerging health profile in rural areas is a cause for concern. The lack of qualified medical staff and access to basic medicines means poor people in rural areas must travel to cities for treatment; often they delay it, or avoid it, for economic reasons.

Government hospital & PHC adoption
Extensive infrastructure construction to modernise existing facilities — remodelling structures, increasing the capacity of healthcare institutions and modernising medical equipment and technology, to build contemporary, fully functional facilities that can meet varied medical needs.
3
Maternity hospitals, NICUs and PICUs
As India's population grows, mother-and-child care units are increasingly scarce. More than 42 maternity hospitals have been established to support neonatal health facilities, and 62 NICUs and PICUs set up across India to reduce infant mortality.
4
Diabetic Free Village
Diabetes has become a common lifestyle disease and many people are still unaware of how to manage or treat it. The initiative offers screening, early detection, prevention, treatment, regular check-ups and diabetes kits, moving from one village to the next.
5
Manovikas — mobile mental health
Mobile mental health clinics that reach youth and individuals struggling with stress and mental illness, bringing care closer so that help, understanding and support are available when they are needed most.
