Sehat Sarthi – Trust at the Frontline (Interpersonal Continuity)

Change begins with trust. Our Sehat Sarthis, trained community health workers, meet people in their homes and villages, building the confidence patients need to take the first step.

They provide:

• Accurate screening and diagnosis for diabetes and hypertension.

• Guidance to government centres, helping patients overcome fear and stigma.

• Practical advice on medicines, diet, and lifestyle.

• Long-term companionship, ensuring patients never feel abandoned.

Without this first layer, patients would rarely start or stick to treatment.
