IMPROVING ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE

Rural India Supporting Trust and our partners work across India to ensure that high quality, affordable and culturally appropriate health care services are accessible to urban, rural, remote and marginalized communities. Our motto is to leave no one behind.

Our approach to health care intervention is holistic. Through our programming, we provide Direct Health Services, build and disseminate scientific knowledge through health education and support cutting-edge research on merging local health traditions with science and medicines.

HEALTH FOCUS AREAS

Direct Health Services

We believe that every person should have access to quality primary healthcare. We support approaches that reduce disease burden and improve healthcare outcomes while reducing healthcare costs.

Health Education, Outreach, and Research

We invest in enhancing scientific medical knowledge, improving behavioral practices and supporting cutting edge research on increasing the adoption of local health traditions. We do this by supporting capacity building of local health providers and ensuring health and well-being of communities.

86% of all medical visits are made by rural people, majority of who travel more than 100 km to avail the facility.
