People to People Health Foundation – Asia is excited to share that Dr. Pydipalli Mounika presented a groundbreaking topic “Community Mobilizers for NCD Screening: Lessons Learned from a Primary healthcare intervention in Urban India” at the prestigious ICOPH on August 3, 2023.
In this transformative project, dedicated frontline healthcare workers united their efforts to address the formidable challenges posed by non-communicable diseases (ncds) within urban Indian communities, with a particular focus on slum areas.
Impact Achieved
Community Level: A significant increase in NCD awareness, debunking myths and fostering better health-seeking behaviour. Health System Level: A remarkable 74% surge in NCD screenings, reaching 343,767 individuals within a year.
Operational Level: successfully enumerated approximately 5 lakh people, streamlining effective healthcare delivery.
The project empowered local community women as mobilisers and generated job opportunities, elevated self-esteem, and enhanced knowledge. Together, they’ve driven progress in NCD Screening, Empowering Communities towards improved health outcomes.
Heartfelt gratitude to our invaluable partners, Sanofi, State NCD Cell of Telangana, and the Magna Carta Foundation, for being an integral part of this transformation journey. Together, we’re shaping healthier futures and Transforming Communities
