Tribal Health Program: Unique Model Aiming at Ending Preventable Deaths
Our tribal health program is a unique model in the country which has demonstrated elimination of maternal deaths in the Vishakhapatnam tribal belt including Araku valley, for more than three years. This was achieved by bringing healthcare to the doorsteps of the beneficiary and linking them to the government facilities by a dedicated team that crosses difficult terrain every day. The significance of this programme rests with the fact that tribal areas have the highest maternal and infant mortalities hence any positive impact in such areas will result in a large impact on the national average. Piramal Swasthya aims to build the Tribal Health Platform, with multiple partners and stakeholders aimed at building a sustainable, high-performing health ecosystem that adequately and appropriately addresses the needs of tribal communities. In providing quality care to India’s underserved tribal population, the platform will play a significant role in ending preventable deaths and ensuring that India achieves SDG 3 by 2030.

D.E.S.H. – Focused On Screening & Early Detection Of Cancers
D.E.S.H. (Detect early & save her/him), a first-of-its-kind community-based cancer screening program that addresses oral, breast and cervical cancers in the north eastern states. As apparent in the name, the project aims at detecting cancer at the early stage by taking screening services to the doorstep of beneficiaries in high incidence areas such as Kamrup (rural) district in Assam. DESH team walks with the patient through the entire journey of initial screening to diagnosis to treatment. This support has been crucial in achieving better outcomes.
