Tribal
Health Initiative was started in Sittilingi village
of Dharmapuri in Tamilnadu as a small outpatient unit in a
thatched hut by Dr. Regi M George and Dr. Lalitha Regi in
1992, when the Tribal people of Sittilingi had to travel 48km
for hospitals. Today, The Organisation runs a full-fledged
24 bed primary-care hospital and conducts education programmes
and outreach clinics in 21 villages and has extended its services
to more than 80,000 Tribal people so far. It has brought about
a behavioural change in Tribal women to take medical treatment.
TB & leprosy are almost hundred percent controlled in
its work area. The Tribal girls are trained as health workers
and as health auxiliaries to help mother feeding, basic health
and to give simple treatment for minor illness. The Organisation
runs “Thulir”, an educational resource centre
for tribal children. It also forms farmer’s groups in
the villages for effective cultivation. |
