Project Description

 

Out of its commitment towards society, CDOT identified that rural society of India has major health concerns which is a combination of cost, quality, accessibility and people’s behaviour towards health. In this purview, CDOT created an ecosystem of community health through its 600 CHFs (Community Health Facilitator) in eight districts of Bihar and Jharkhand, i.e Patna, Bhojpur, Nalanda, Nawda, Gaya in Bihar and Hazaribagh, Bokaro and Dhanbad in Jharkhand, with the support of IPE Global, USAID and Opportunity International, Australia.
All these CHFs are women chosen from villages and cater to the people of their own village and have been provided training on different health issues related to Menstrual Health and Hygiene, Reproductive Health and Family Planning, and other preventive health-related issues to improve the knowledge of the community through regular home visits. To make the health system accessible, all CHFs provide a doorstep treatment facility through our Teleconsultation service at zero cost. During the Teleconsultation sessions, if a Doctor finds some patients who need to be physically examined or admitted to a hospital, they are referred to empanelled hospitals in the vicinity. The CHF Program also takes into consideration the importance of social security and our CHFs motivate people to register themselves in different national social security schemes and facilitating them to connect with a health insurance.
To make the program and effort sustainable, we emphasize on making our CHFs entrepreneurs. They earn profit margin against health insurance and by selling products like sanitary pads and other health related products.  
We reached out to 1.2 lakhs households through the CHF health program. The vision is to build a culture of health through the establishment of a sustainable community support system.
