Quality healthcare without an efficient delivery system is incomplete. It will fail to achieve its desired impact. Rural healthcare delivery is utterly complex because of workforce shortage. High-end innovative solutions if not integrated with proper delivery mechanisms will have no use. Though the government is taking several initiatives to serve these underserved populations, an additional support mechanism is also indeed for robust healthcare delivery. NGOs, social enterprises, health tech companies have specific roles to make universal access to healthcare a reality.

In Swast Bharat our village Medics are extended hands of the doctors to serve a larger population. They are the ones who could break the rural taboos through counseling, awareness, and sensitize patients on their health and nutrition practices. With our specified training on healthcare, technology usage, and behavioral change communication they promote care-seeking behavior among the community, bring down the cost of care and distance traveled for seeking care and save wage day’s loss. With the point of care devices and wearables and predictive diagnostics, they give data-driven decision support to the doctor during assisted telemedicine. Making it popular among the rural community. In their journey as a Village Medic, they became inspirational leaders who catalyzed change for sustainable rural development. They foster an ecosystem of transformation in the rural hinterland for better management of routine services, community health data management, counseling for non-compliant patients for treatment adherence, and effective supply chain management.
