Areas covered by H India’s interventions

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome

(AIDS), family planning and reproductive

health, maternal and child health, health

systems strengthening, integrated health

and development, and infectious diseases,

including TB. It has managed CSR

development projects for corporates, as well

as for WHO and e Global und to ight

AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria (GATM).

‘H India makes sure that we involve

the community at various stages (planning,

implementation, evaluation, and redesign).

We adopt a participatory approach in the

entire project cycle so that the skills and

knowledge gained by the current groups of

communities are transferred and replicated

in other geographies in India. One of the key

strategies that H India uses in projects is to

create a large cadre of community volunteers

to ensure a trained pool of human resources

in the community even when the project

funding ends,’ explains Dr. Bitra George.
