Samridh support
SAMRIDH’s financial assistance, through Recoverable Grants, is enabling iKure to enhance its operations by training and deploying 100 Community Health Assistants (iCHAs) in underserved regions. The support also helps iKure address working capital gaps for projects like MSD Phase 2 and Act Phase 2, demonstrating a shared commitment to improving healthcare accessibility in India. Covering iKure’s operational expenditures for seven months, SAMRIDH’s support has also enabled the organization to raise additional commercial capital, achieving a ~6x leverage over the committed funds.
disparity[2]
India’s rural healthcare system faces severe challenges due to scarce infrastructure, insufficient Primary Health Centers (PHCs), and shortages of doctors and nurses. As a result, millions of rural residents lack access to essential medical services. Many are forced to seek expensive alternative treatments, leading to high out-of-pocket expenses. This financial burden often compels families to delay necessary care, exacerbating health issues. The crisis is particularly acute in states like Jharkhand, West Bengal, and Odisha. These states, which collectively account for over 13% of India’s population, have alarmingly few functional Primary Health Centers (PHCs) struggling to serve their large populations. Inadequate staffing at these facilities results in limited operational hours, equipment shortages, and strained capacity to handle emergencies, leaving millions without essential medical services.
