UTTAR PRADESH: PILOT PROGRAM |
|
An estimated 4 million people live in the project area of Meerut, Muzzafarnagar and Bijnore districts in Uttar Pradesh State in India, 3 million of which reside in rural and remote villages. To reach such a large population, WHP established a network of local and regional providers, with a central base of operations in New Delhi.
| |
 |
Using state-of-the-art satellite, broadband and computer technologies, the project links qualified city-based doctors with patients living in remote settings. Contracted local partners manage training, technological support, and delivery of medicines and supplies to all providers in the WHP network.
The health services provided by the WHP network include comprehensive preventive and curative care, as well as reproductive health and family planning services. Family planning is provided on an ongoing basis at the shops, telemedicine centers and franchisee clinics -- these providers also help WHP organize annual transit clinics bringing services close to the clients. Because these transit clinics qualify for special government grants, WHP is able to deliver care to the poorest communities in close collaboration with the public sector.The challenge before WHP is not only creating access to services for the poor but also ensuring that these services are affordable and of good quality. The project will create access by training and employing suitable people in the community. It will integrate family planning into the providers’ existing suite of health services, thus making family planning viable.
The project will use India’s well-established market-distribution system to make non-clinical family planning methods, clinical supplies, and therapeutic medicines available for purchase at, or close to, the village.
The pilot project healthcare network consists of 1,000 Sky Care providers, as well as 100 Sky Health Telemedicine Centres, 9 franchisee clinics and diagnostic laboratories, and 900 rural pharmacies. A Central Medical Facility based in New Delhi provides or supervises all healthcare services.
