Organizations Filed Purposes: We believe in the vision of Universal Health Coverage - that you should be able to receive the health services you need, when and where you need them, without facing financial hardship (WHO). But realizing this vision requires the collective efforts of an entire ecosystem. We aim to be a catalyst to empower existing health programs to do more through well-designed user-centered technology. Our mission is to improve access to affordable, quality healthcare for all. We envision a world where every person is connected with doctors, drugs, diagnostics, referral networks, insurance and quality medical care. Our hypothesis is that there are five keys barriers in access to health - (1) geographic distance, facilities are too far, (2) financial gaps, care is too expensive, (3) lack of availability of key resources, like a well-trained health workforce, drugs and devices, (4) poor acceptability, care provided does not meet the attitudes and expectations of beneficiaries and (5) poor quality of

THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION IS TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE, QUALITY HEALTHCARE FOR ALL.

Chikitsa Sahayta Kendra (Health Outreach Center) Project, Odisha, India - The CSK project in tribal villages of Odisha was set up in December 2017 in partnership with the Arogya Foundation of India. The project aims at improving geographic and financial access to health care services to the patients in a low-resource setting. It uses a comprehensive care delivery model to identify, treat and manage patients with high-quality care for primary health conditions through technology. The intervention is implemented in 81 remote villages in Pallahara block, in Angul District, Odisha. A total of 3 community health workers called Arogya Sanyojikas are provided with mobiles and telemedicine kits to facilitate teleconsults, counseling and referrals with 3 remote doctors. These CHWs are supported by 44 community volunteers, called Arogya Sevikas, who support them in screening, follow-up and tracking patient health improvement. Through the CSK program, we've helped patients cumulatively save 16115 hours, 74370 km and $25,659 to access primary care. 89% of patients walked to CSK. On an average, the patients gave a rating of 4.61/5 to our health services. We also witnessed an increase in the patients visit by 104% as compared to 2018 which is indicative of the increasing penetration of our services and the trust in the community. Patients can conveniently access medications through a partner pharmacy that sends the medicines to the health workers once the prescriptions are issued.

MNCHN Program, Mindanao, Philippines - In 2018, we partnered with Voluntary Services Overseas, Philippines and the Department of Health, Bukidnon to implement the MNCHN Project in Mindanao, Philippines. The project aims to improve access to primary health services for women of reproductive age, expectant mothers and adolescent girls, neonatal and postpartum care, unmet needs for contraception, skilled birth attendance, adolescents at risk of unintended pregnancies and child health in poor and marginalized communities. It also includes early screening and diagnosis for Tuberculosis in these populations. The project has been implemented in 8 Barangays of Bukidnon province in the Philippines with 40 volunteer health workers and 8 midwives. Through the home visits, BHWs were able to conduct early identification of signs of common illnesses and refer them to a midwife. Midwives could manage some cases on their own. High-risk cases were referred to a hospital and lower risk cases were managed using telemedicine. The following metrics were achieved: 376 Screening visits by BHW, 373 families provided with health counselling, 30 high-risk patients referred to a midwife including, 1 pregnant woman with danger signs, 6 children with danger signs/missed immunizations, 9 couples in need of family planning services, 14 patients with chronic cough (tuberculosis screening), 3 Patients referred for teleconsultation, 5 Patients referred to rural health unit for further treatment.

NCD Management for Conflict-affected regions of Syria - The Intelehealth mobile telemedicine project in Syria with Johns Hopkins University aims to screen specific community groups for Hypertension and Diabetes in the conflict-affected region. Those screened positive will be followed up regularly to improve treatment adherence and connected virtually with specialists to monitor their healthcare status regularly. In addition, those screened negative in the screening phase will also be sent regular health updates and primary prevention strategies to reduce risk of acquiring NCDs (messages on lifestyle factors, smoking, diet etc.). The project will be implemented by the Syrian American Medical Society in conflict-affected areas of Syria with 18 CHWs for a 20,000 population.
