The tribals residing in small villages and hamlets in the forest area or remote hill areas, usually have to walk long distances as there are no proper motorable roads or transport facilities. They are compounded by the severe shortfall in public health facilities and trained workforce in tribal areas even for their primary healthcare needs. Under these circumstances, they have to struggle to avail of even the most basic healthcare facilities. As evident from data in the tribal policy brief, compared to India’s overall population, tribal communities suffer from higher maternal and under-five mortality; stunted, wasted, and underweight children; higher incidence of malaria and tuberculosis; and a high and growing burden of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and hypertension.
Vastu Housing Finance, in collaboration with Suhrid Foundation, has set up a primary healthcare medical centre in the Khandegar district, Maharashtra with a population of 1000+ tribal residents. This medical centre will help the population of around 6 to 7 hamlets which will cater to approximately 7000+ tribals.
