SAFE HEALTH FOUNDATION
Health is Wealth. Better health is core element of human happiness and well-being. It makes an important contribution in economic progress of any nation, as healthy people live longer and more productive.
Poverty is the key factor that impedes access to quality health services. In some developing countries the life expectancy of the poor is 20 years lower than other privileged members of society.
Many factors influence health status and a country's ability to provide quality health services for the people. Measurable improvement in health standards could be seen when the efforts of Government, civil society groups, donor organizations and charitable communities are properly integrated to deliver quality services in this sector.
The private sector which accounts for about 70 percent of the health expenditure has some advantages such as flexibility and better response to patient needs. But access to services is contingent upon ability to pay, thus the quality medical and health services are still beyond the reach for the poorer segments, rural and interior parts of India.
SAFE Health Foundation believes in the WHO’s statement, “Health problems today are no longer merely the responsibility of those working on health, but require positive action by those outside the health sector” and institutes a network of core competencies which play a vital role in providing quality health services to the underprivileged groups and the people from the rural and interior parts of India.
SHF understands the impact of health of masses on the development of the country and the country’s poverty rate. It attempts to bridge the gap for the underprivileged population and the rural segments of India to get better accessibility opportunities to the quality medical services, thereby improving the health standards of the country as its contribution for the achievement of nation’s health goals.
SHF exercises to institutionalize its strategic alliances with the service providers, insurance companies and donor agencies; and ultimately it ensures that all the priority health problems of the needy people are addressed from time to time.
