Rural Health

Rural Public Health Initiative

India’s rural communities form the backbone of the nation’s demographic and economic structure, yet continue to face disparities in access to quality healthcare. Despite an extensive network of sub-centres, Primary Health Centres (PHCs), and Community Health Centres (CHCs), challenges related to infrastructure, workforce availability, and service utilisation persist.

The HLCF Rural Public Health Initiative works in partnership with central and state governments, public health institutions, and community stakeholders to strengthen rural health systems through leadership development, capacity building, and sustainable innovation.
