Bringing Quality Healthcare

In India, access to healthcare in the rural parts of mountain districts of Uttarakhand remains unfulfilled. Given the constraints of terrain, topography, and the small and scattered nature of rural settlements, increasing the access to healthcare delivery and health information becomes necessary.




Adding to the existing gaps and burdens of healthcare in India, the COVID-19 Pandemic is challenging health systems across the rural areas. The beneficiary families are rural farmers or daily wage earners. Both private and public hospitals are out of reach of the ordinary farmer.




The healthcare services available in Haldwani are high in out-of-pocket expenses which put the family in debt during emergencies. Women form the most vulnerable section of rural mountain communities; married early, they move into a life of frequent and multiple pregnancies and childbirth; are subject to a host of social and nutritional prejudices during menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, and lactation. Ethical and humane clinical services are also out of reach.




It is clear that there is a pressing need to tackle the issue of lack of access to healthcare in rural India, and Aarohi has the solution for this.
