Health Interventions

Through such interventions CREATE is providing access to specialized and low cost medical services to the marginalized sections of the community who are otherwise unable to access or afford such services. Thus CREATE is ensuring better health and wellness condition for the members of the marginalized communities. Often these interventions have community level mobilizers and health cadres, trained by CREATE and the intervention is gradually linked to government medical facilities to ensure sustainability.

Core services of our telemedicine interventions include:

Seven districts and 13 blocks have benefitted from CREATE’s tele-medicine interventions. CREATE has impacted 50,000 lives through this intervention. All members from the marginalized sections of the community received the services of medical specialists, such as dermatologists, orthopedics, pediatrics, gynecologists and ENTs. It may not have been possible for them to access such specialist care otherwise. Collectivization and selection of trained members from the community to mobilize the community members were part of core approaches.

The low cost medical tests and medical check-ups were lifesaving for members of the community, who do not have such medical facilities in the proximity and who find the cost of such facilities, where they are available, prohibitive. As a result of the intervention, better health and wellness condition of the marginalized community has been noticed.
