India relief efforts
AVPN is providing different pathways for social investors across the network to mobilise capital towards impact. Through our partners, USAID and NISHTHA/Jhpiego, we have identified critical needs across the Indian states that require immediate support.USAID’s flagship health systems strengthening project, NISHTHA, implemented by Jhpiego aims to transform, redesign and re-engineer primary healthcare (PHC) in India for the provision of equitable, comprehensive and client-centered primary healthcare that contributes to improved health outcomes for India’s marginalized and vulnerable populations, including women and girls. A well-resourced and well-equipped PHC will be better able to manage COVID-19 and future public health threats. To know more about NISHTHA’s COVID-19 response, click here.
