HIM INITIATIVE

An NGO providing free healthcare assistance to underprivileged communities.

The impoverished generally have less access to health care than people in wealthier nations, and even within nations, the impoverished have fewer access to healthcare. It need not be the case that the impoverished in low- and middle-income countries are invariably at a disadvantage in all aspects of access and their determinants. It has been demonstrated that a wide range of techniques, including targeted or universal approaches, using commercial, nonprofit, or government groups, and pursuing a wide variety of financing and organizing tactics, may increase access to the impoverished. Successful initiatives must focus on reaching the impoverished, include marginalized populations, promote local adaptation, and closely monitor their results and that is what JNPAAK Foundation has done over the years. 

Nonetheless, whether it comes to enacting policies, carrying out health care plans, or keeping an eye on them, governments in LMICs seldom ever give the poor enough consideration. The utilization of health equity funds, conditional cash transfers, co-production and regulation of health services, and other recent innovations in the funding, delivery, and regulation of health services all show promise for expanding access to the impoverished.
