We are Human Rights Awakening Team

A global Human Rights organisation committed to the wellbeing, dignity and voice of older people.

Why Health Care

At Human Rights Awakening, we recognize the critical importance of addressing the healthcare challenges faced by India’s vast and diverse population. With over 1.4 billion people and significant geospatial diversity, ensuring last-mile delivery of healthcare remains a formidable challenge. Accessibility and availability issues are exacerbated in remote and difficult terrains, where healthcare infrastructure is limited. Moreover, with a majority of the population residing in rural areas and urban slums, uneven distribution, and lack of awareness further hinder access to healthcare services. By bridging these gaps, we strive to support the Government of India’s vision of Ayushman Bharat and contribute to achieving Universal Health Coverage, ensuring that every individual has access to quality healthcare, regardless of their socio-economic status or geographic location.

As a Human Rights Awakening team focused on Health and Family Welfare, we undertake various initiatives to ensure that individuals and families have access to their fundamental rights to health and well-being. Here are some actions we might take:

Education and Awareness

We conduct workshops, seminars, and community outreach programs to educate people about their health rights and how to access healthcare services. This includes information about preventive measures, available treatments, and resources for mental health support.

Advocacy

We advocate for policies and laws that promote healthcare access for all, including marginalized communities. This involves lobbying governments, collaborating with policymakers, and raising public awareness about the importance of health as a human right.
Women & Children

Community Health Programs

We organize health camps, screenings, and vaccination drives in underserved areas to provide essential healthcare services directly to those who need them most.

Empowerment

We empower individuals and families to assert their rights by providing them with information, resources, and support networks. This may include legal aid services for healthcare-related issues and counseling for victims of health-related rights violations.

Monitoring and Reporting

We monitor healthcare systems and facilities to ensure they are meeting human rights standards, and we report any violations or deficiencies to relevant authorities. This includes advocating for improvements in healthcare infrastructure, quality of care, and accessibility.

Research and Data Collection

We conduct research on health disparities and the impact of social determinants on health outcomes, using data to inform our advocacy efforts and identify areas for intervention.

Collaboration

We collaborate with other human rights organizations, healthcare professionals, civil society groups, and international agencies to leverage resources and expertise in advancing health and family welfare as human rights priorities.
By undertaking these actions, we strive to promote the realization of health and family welfare as fundamental human rights, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to lead a healthy and fulfilling life.
The Indian Constitution provides several provisions for the welfare and protection of elderly citizens, reflecting the nation’s commitment to ensuring their rights and dignity. Here are the key constitutional provisions relevant to elderly welfare:

OUR INTERVENTIONS

Mobile Healthcare: We extend healthcare to underserved populations via fully-equipped Mobile Healthcare Units staffed with doctors and paramedics. Our units offer OPD services, point-of-care testing, and essential medicines, ensuring access to vital healthcare where it’s needed most.

Telemedicine

We bridge the gap between remote rural communities and urban healthcare centers by establishing e-Health Kiosks and Telemedicine Centers. These facilities, manned by paramedics, facilitate virtual consultations with doctors, enabling access to specialized healthcare services for people in underserved areas, fostering health equity and well-being.

Static Clinics

In remote rural areas, we establish static healthcare centers offering OPD services, essential medicines, point-of-care testing, and counseling. With a special emphasis on physiotherapy services, these centers provide holistic care, ensuring accessibility to vital healthcare resources and promoting well-being in underserved communities.

Health Camps

We deliver tailored healthcare services to specific demographics through standalone health camps. These camps, staffed with specialized doctors, offer point-of-care tests and, at times, surgical facilities. By addressing unique needs, we ensure targeted and effective healthcare interventions, enhancing overall well-being within the community.

Govt. Convergence

We bolster the effectiveness of Government Health Centers by integrating telemedicine at sub-centers, empowering frontline workers through training, and upgrading Primary Health Centers (PHCs). This comprehensive approach extends healthcare reach, improves capacity, and ensures better access to quality medical services, fostering community health and well-being.
