The Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MoTA), has launched a National Capacity Building Programme for Tribal Healers in Hyderabad, Telangana.
This first-of-its-kind national initiative aims to formally recognize and engage tribal healers as collaborative partners within India’s public health ecosystem.
It aids to strengthen last-mile health service delivery in geographically and culturally isolated tribal regions.
A MoU with ICMR-Regional Medical Research Centre, Bhubaneswar was signed to establish India’s first Bharat Tribal Health Observatory (B-THO) under Project DRISTI.
Project DRISTI aims to create a tribe-disaggregated health information system.
