Health Equity amongst the urban poor can be a powerful agent of change. Similar to health being critical to a child's development, health equity is an indispensable milestone of a community's development. This can be achieved by strengthening the community's capacity to access public health services while working with public health systems to provide quality services and by changing knowledge, attitudes and behaviours. SNEHA (Society for Nutrition, Education and Health Action) is a step towards bridging the health equity gap and going beyond fighting illness to Raising Health For All.
A Continuum of Care Approach
A continuum of care RMNCH+A (Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health) means working with women and children from birth to adulthood in order to break the intergenerational cycle of poor health.
Enhancing public system response to maternal and newborn healthcare
Improving coordination across public health facilities for high risk pregnancies
Encouraging institutional deliveries through the public health system
Ensuring full immunisation in children and exclusive breastfeeding
Identifying, preventing and treating malnutrition
Capacity building to deliver better public services for child health and nutrition
Educating adolescents on nutrition, reproductive health and gender equity and improving emotional resilience
Creating a cadre of youth to become community change agents
Empowering communities and partnering with public systems to respond to gender-based violence
Providing mental health and legal services to women facing violence, and improved knowledge and access to planned parenthood
Improving knowledge and access for planned parenthood
Addressing gender-based inequities is an underlying area of focus across all programmes that SNEHA undertakes, because this is often at the heart of health inequity in communities.
SNEHA works with vulnerable communities, public health and safety systems
to develop evidence-based models to address urban health challenges.

SNEHA works directly with vulnerable communities to improve health seeking behaviours, address gender inequities and promote optimal use of available resources.
STRENGTHENING SYSTEMS
SNEHA’s model is unique as it supports existing government health and safety systems for improving quality of healthcare delivery.
ADVANCING RESEARCH
SNEHA highly values ‘Research, Monitoring & Evaluation and
Impact Mapping’ ,
seeing these as enablers of efficiency and accelerators of change. At a larger level, it works towards creation of evidence-based models of health interventions to inform policy.
We have expanded into nurse-aide training to empower young women and into palliative care to help communities manage life limiting illnesses better; supported by expertise and compassion.
