Access to better
HEALTHCARE CARE India's interventions in the health sector work to improve access to quality healthcare services for the poor and marginalised communities. By identifying the root causes of healthcare challenges, we work at the individual, community and systemic levels to develop innovative solutions and help implement quality healthcare services. The work with community groups, collaborative work with government and civil society organisations include cross-cutting strategies to improve the
health and nutrition status of the poorest and excluded groups, particularly women and children. With a focus on policy advocacy and system strengthening, CARE India builds the capacities of healthcare service providers and ofďŹ cials of the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), to create impact at scale. The various areas of healthcare system delivery addressed by the projects include improving the quality of services for maternal and reproductive health, child health and nutrition, and
early identiďŹ cation and treatment of communicable diseases such as Kala Azar. To increase the uptake of services, besides the supply-side interventions, many projects work with communities and groups of mothers to break social barriers by engaging men and other key decision-makers in rural households. During the year 2019-20, we directly reached 5,02,12,766 people in six states through 20 healthcare programmes.
