More than Just an NGO Inclusive health...
There has always been a gentle nudge for public health, humanitarian and disaster interventions to address health inequalities. However, in recent times, it has become a vigorous push with governments now realizing that “inclusive health” approaches are needed to tackle health inequalities. Value-based efforts must be made to address the root causes.
For us at Active World Health Foundation, inclusive health is the new paradigm. Through “inclusive health”, health for all will indeed be achievable.
