One of the important aspects of a good healthcare system is community
participation. It functions with the idea that the people can be trained and
involved in primary healthcare system. This method is already being used in
some parts of our country. SEWA in Ahmedabad and ACCORD in Nilgiris could
be the examples of some such NGOs working in India. Trade unions have built
alternative health care services for their members and also to give low-cost health
care to people from nearby villages.
The most well-known and pioneering initiative
in this regard has been Shahid Hospital, built in 1983 and sustained by the
workers of CMSS (Chhattisgarh Mines Shramik Sangh) in Durg, Madhya Pradesh.
A few attempts have also been made by rural organisations to build alternative
healthcare initiatives. One example is in Thane, Maharashtra, where in the
context of a tribal people’s organisation, Kashtakari Sangathan, trains women
health workers at the village level to treat simple illnesses at minimal cost.
