Recently another project “Training and Capacity Building of 116 Village Health & Sanitation Committees” has taken up to further strengthen the existing government efforts and to take advantage of opportunities that the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) presented and expand the community healthcare program in all the villages where health program do not reached. This project is supported by Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of Gujarat in association of Jan Swashthya Abhiyan (JSA) – Gujarat. Each committee has prepared a plan for the health needs of their population and the health committees are currently implementing these plans. Further, Mahiti has commenced supporting the ASHAs and Health committee members in these Village Panchayats in 4 blocks of Ahmedabad and Bhavnagar district by assisting the government health service delivery system. Over 70% of the members of these committees are women and the top two issues that the Village Panchayats seek to address include women’s health, safe delivery, anemia and water borne diseases.
