If women community workers do not feel safe, they are less likely to participate in the workforce, which can negatively impact the public health projects that they are the most essential part of.

Little can be done without a massive increase in public health expenditure and a radical revamp of the primary health infrastructure.

Access to healthcare is an issue that millions in the country still struggle with, and India needs to build a strong primary healthcare system to address this.

There are valuable lessons that state level universal health coverage schemes have to offer to Ayushman Bharat, particularly in light of its scheduled launch this September.

"In order to strengthen our health system, we need a sound data monitoring strategy that enables decision-makers to accurately track system performance, evaluate impact, and ensure accountability."

An unprecedented medical issue in a tribal village led health workers to conduct a micro-study of the rural area, which taught them invaluable lessons on how to approach a community—its culture, ecology, and the problem itself.

Our big ideas and business models often fail because we aren’t really listening to communities; nor are we involving them in co-creating solutions.

Long-term approaches are difficult but necessary to solve the problem. Short-cut approaches are all a road to perdition.
