Arogya Sangama: 3 Way Partnership of People, Providers, and Panchayat for Health
Sponsor: Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
Summary
This is a two-year pilot project in the Raichur and Chamarajanagar districts of Karnataka, India aiming to enhance the overall performance of primary health systems, including service utilization, quality, and responsive care, specifically within the recently developed facilities called the Health and Wellness Centres (HWCs). It will leverage rural local government structures known as Gram Panchayat Task Forces (GPTFs) created during the Covid-19 pandemic to strengthen the services delivered by HWCs. The aim is to build capacities and empower these GPTFs to function as a collaborative platform involving people, panchayats, and healthcare providers. This approach seeks to promote-community ownership, grassroots synergy, and social accountability to strengthen HWC service delivery in rural Karnataka (India).

Interventions
Arogya Sangama
Using human-centered design, the investigators will work wit the community to develop a prototype Arogya Sangama model to identify methods to bring GPTF and HWC service providers to create ideas, systems, processes, services, and delivery strategies for the GPTFs. They will help identify and prioritize interventions and address barriers to usability. There will also be capacity building of GPTFs to implement the interventions identified.
