**BACKGROUND**

The Hans Foundation (THF), established in 2009, is a Public Charitable Trust that works towards creating an equitable society to enhance quality of life for all through the empowerment of marginalized and underprivileged communities in India. The Hans Foundation works for the Health and Wellbeing of remote and under-served groups, with an additional focus on children, persons with disabilities and women. THF also works for holistic Education and Livelihood development of our communities. Our Two-Fold Strategy involves identifying and working within Aspirational Districts and high poverty index in the North, North-East and East regions within specific states, as well as catering to lower-income and migratory populations in cities, through urban programs.

Over its 15 years of existence, THF has reached more than 35 million beneficiaries through its programs. THF works with communities through direct implementation of projects on the ground in addition to providing local management and monitoring support to not-for-profit organizations in India funded through THF USA and RIST.

**PROJECT**

The Hans Foundation has been operating PHCs on self-Implementation mode since October 2021. PHC intervention is an innovative model of healthcare delivery that could help alleviate health disparities in vulnerable populations and individuals with chronic diseases. Indeed, some studies have concluded that PHCs are particularly impactful in the following contexts: offering urgent care, providing preventative and primary health care and initiating chronic disease management. By opening their doors directly into communities and leveraging existing community assets, PHCs can offer tailored, high-impact and affordable health care that responds dynamically to the community’s evolving needs. Goal of this project is “People in remote areas are able to access quality health services, thereby improving their overall wellbeing”.
