IMPROVING PRIMARY HEALTH CARE AND EDUCATION

The objective is to improve and enhance the services offered by Network For Human Rights And Justice(NHRJ) in the rural communities of Azad Kashmir. We propose to do this by applying novel solutions that take advantage of developments in harnessing solar power, computers, and information technology. Our strategy is to use technology to provide effective early medical intervention, deliver expert health care, and minimize the inconvenience caused to patients and health-workers from poor logistics and long travel time. An equally important role of NHRJ is to provide health education emphasizing family planning, hygiene, sanitation, and prevention of communicable diseases.A final step in this process will happen through video consulting and examination, a technology we anticipate becoming available in rural areas by year 2018.
