THE NEED
Improving and strengthening public health is critical to ensure that primary health centers (PHCs), and civic hospitals are equipped to provide quality healthcare services to low income communities. Many existing healthcare facilities suffer from inadequate infrastructure, outdated medical equipment, and insufficient capacity to meet the healthcare needs of the population they serve (Kumar A. 2023). This infrastructure gap not only affects the quality of care but also hampers the ability to respond effectively to public health emergencies and outbreaks. Addressing these infrastructure deficiencies is essential to enhance access to healthcare services and improve health outcomes for communities, particularly in underserved areas.
SOLUTION
Our project focuses on addressing challenges encountered by public health facilities through a systematic approach of infrastructure improvements and capacity building. We conduct a thorough need assessment, refurbish PHC buildings, provide equipment and build capacities of PHC staff.
• Development of a plan for each PHC
• Infrastructural Interventions at PHC
• Ensuring adherence to Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS) and Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) Protocol
• Capacity building of health workers
• The PHC is provided the necessary infrastructure and internet support to run such a facility.
• Conducting community activations on various topics to improve health-seeking behaviour in communities
