The Consortium for Primary Healthcare (CPH) constitutes a multi-sectoral mix of seven organizations who have come together for synergized and focused interventions for improving the health and wellbeing of the rural and tribal communities in the region of Southern Rajasthan. The consortium members bring in expertise on primary healthcare, telemedicine, management, research, community engagement and empowerment, reproductive and child health, tuberculosis, and multilateral engagement, among others.
CPH aims to provide an equitable, effective, replicable, and scalable model which works in synergy with the community. The CPH approach will be to develop and test a unique model of providing a comprehensive primary healthcare at the block level. It is envisaged in the form of an implementation research to design an innovative and effective model of comprehensive primary healthcare, which is critical to informing policies and creating social impact.
