Health

Health is wealth and necessarily so. According to a leading research study, Non-Communicable diseases (NCDs) in India accounted for 50% total deaths in 2004 which increased to 60% by 2014. Similarly, hospitalisation due to NCDs accounted for 29% of total hospitalization in 2004 which increased to 38% by 2014.

This disease burden can be curbed or at least controlled if effective measures are taken at the grassroot level. EcDEESHA aims for capacity building of health care workers and health care providers working at grassroot level thus enabling them to directly impact lives of the patients who, otherwise, wouldn't have access to proper resources. EcDEESHA also aims at empowering home makers, the women who have the most impact on the demographics of a household as well as adolescents, the most influential age group of all.
