A Village Comes Together
Outreach turned into a village-led health drive.
When we first visited Netravali, medical facilities were a two-hour bus ride away. Simple checkups were delayed, leading to preventable health complications.
The community recognized the gap, and together we initiated local health camps. What started as monthly visits grew into a fully functional local health desk.

The program trained four local health coordinators and provided essential diagnostics equipment directly to the panchayat building.
Today, Netravali acts as a template for other remote villages, proving that health is best managed when owned by the community.
