Over its 15 years of existence, THF has reached more than 35 million beneficiaries through its programs.

PROJECT OVERVIEW: HANS HEALTH & WELLNESS CENTRE

The Hans Health & Wellness Centre, Meghalaya, is a transformative initiative aimed at addressing the fundamental healthcare needs of rural and hard-to-reach populations. Recognizing the limitations of government resources, The Hans Foundation (THF) has committed to bridging the gap by taking over 50 sub-centres in the first phase. This project is designed to make a substantial impact on health parameters, particularly in reducing maternal mortality rates. Through a meticulous gap assessment, THF will provide the necessary equipment and facilities, deploy skilled human resources, and ensure comprehensive training to meet the project’s demands. The initiative is not just a short-term intervention but a long-term commitment, with regular operations and monitoring to ensure sustained improvement. THF envisions this project as a model for community healthcare at the grassroots level, aspiring to set a benchmark that other states might seek to replicate, ultimately expanding its reach across the region in a phased manner.
