For more than
30 years, IRHS has worked to demonstrate that the complex problems of
rural health care in India can be overcome through intelligent and innovative
solutions focused at the grassroots.
The components of the IRHS healthcare system are:
- Village
clinics in a remote rural area of a chronically drought-prone district
- Screening
women for cervical cancer and pre-cancerous lesions
- Travelers'
Aid for the Sick - an office in the Hyderabad central bus station
- Patient
Counselors located in both the bus station office and in tertiary care
level public and private hospitals
IRHS uses
an integrated strategy to provide rural people the healthcare services
they require to make a full recovery where possible. Every year this strategy
helps thousands of marginal and small farm families overcome critical
medical problems, many of which are poverty-related and without our intervention
would render them unable to support their families.
