Experiences
 

Since the inception, we have met with organizations in 8 states -- talking to providers and communities to understand ground reality, community requirements, and understanding and evaluating existing community health programs. These include:

 

Latur, Maharashtra
We first visited Latur with Swayam Sikshan Prayog (SSP) in May 2008. This and the ensuing visits helped understand SSP's community based health insurance program and design a more comprehensive health mutual program for Latur. This program is being piloted in 12 villages now.

   

Indore, Madhya Pradesh
We studied Urban Health Resource Centre (UHRC)'s community health awareness program run with 5 NGOs in urban Indore. The study included a design on expanding this program to cover primary, secondary and tertiary care.

   

Tanjavur, Tamil Nadu
We have been assissting  ICTPH in designing and evaluating health systems and financing options for rural Tamil Nadu. This interaction led to a joint electronic health record (EHR) system development

 
   

Bangalore, Karnataka
We visited various community locations and providers with a labour placement agency (LabourNet) and a leading urban micro-finance institution. This included many slum visits, interaction with community providers and institutional healthcare providers and product delivery mechanism to result comprehensive design a comprehensive health insurance product and system for the LabourNet members.

   

Mumbai, Maharashtra
We spent time with leading slum dwellers' federation to understand their operations, meet healthcare providers and community members in their area of operation, and come up with a thorough understanding of community health requirements and delivery mechanisms.

   
Baggad, rural Rajasthan
We have worked with an organization running a last-mile curative healthcare delivery setup to assess the basic model and identify areas of improvement in the system. These last mile workers, one per village, are connected by phone to an operator/doctor on the backend. We did this through surveys with these health workers, consumers, and no-consumes. The study included a quality assessment survey of the medical services provided.
