Description:
High quality medical care at an affordable cost with a special emphasis on poor-friendly protocols.
The Prem Jyoti community hospital was started in 1996 to address the health needs of the Malto tribal people – a diminishing group, in the northeastern corner of Jharkhand. It focused mainly on their health needs, through a network of community health volunteers, peripheral clinics and a hospital. Emphasis was given on training and empowering the community to tackle health problems. Since 2011 the focus has broadened beyond health to address the social determinants of health. “Prem Jyoti” means “love” and “light”.
