and Nagpur. Through these facilities it caters to not only Maharashtra but also neighbouring states like Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh.

The financial support secured from USAID’s COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund, will enable the institution to convert 100 of its existing beds into oxygenated beds, 20 of which will be intensive care facilities. DMIMS, within 6 months of receiving the funding, aims to impact 56000 vulnerable lives, from tribal population and economically backward communities.

Fuzhio aims to chemically recycle these plastics, through a process known as pyrolysis – wherein such non-recyclable plastics are converted into oil, which can further be distilled to obtain fuel, naphtha (a flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture) and other products.

Fuzhio and SAMRIDH have partnered up with the aim to recycle 250 tons of plastics into fuel in India through a cross cutting collaborative approach – wherein Fuzhio works with aggregators of dead-end plastics, pyrolysis recyclers, Urban Local Bodies (ULB’s) and other institutions to orchestrate the entire value chain.
Fuzhio aims at establishing pyrolysis as a standard solution in three cities across India. Fuzhio’s vision is to set up value chains that use landfill plastics as a source of circular fuel oil, thereby reducing the need to overburden existing crude oil systems of the world, whilst reducing landfill space and handling dead-end plastics in a safe manner.

for inclusion of low-income populations into organized healthcare. With SAMRIDH’s support, GNRC will accelerate expansion of this program and strengthenits impact by hiring and training an additional 3,000 Swastha Mitras (SMs) to cover villages that were not initially covered by the existing network of SMs.

The SMs will work towards increasing awareness on COVID-19 appropriate behavior, vaccinationand symptoms. SMs would also support the ASHA network by going beyond maternal and child health and assess general health needs in the population that they serve and increase health-seeking behaviour. In collaboration with the local public health authority, the Swastha Mitra will facilitate testing, tracking, isolationand treatment of patients as per the protocol. GNRC will alsodouble their fleet of rented ambulances– from their existing 40 units by another 40 – to facilitate transportation in various remote and under-served areas of Assam. Complemented with provision of transportation and discounted care services at the hospital, the program will deliver integrated healthcare to large populations that would otherwise remain untouched.

services spanning the broad spectrum of healthcare to rural/semi-urban communities around India.

Karma Primary Healthcare operates nurse-assisted digital clinics supported by qualified doctors, diagnostics and referral services in the underserved parts of the country. It focusses on primary healthcare and COVID-19 support services in rural and urban areas primarily for the most vulnerable sections of the population and provides access to affordable and quality healthcare services. Specifically, this includes increasing awareness regarding COVID vaccination, door-to-door digital consultations by doctors for patients, distribution of critical medical devices for COVID-19 treatment, counselling, etc. It is compliant with existing NDHM and GoI guidelines for teleconsultation.

Over the next 6 months, financial support secured from USAID’s COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund will enable Karma Primary Healthcare to expand the complete continuum of COVID-19 care and awareness, most urgently regarding vaccination in rural areas where there is still a stigma attached to immunization.

With support from ACT Grants’ NGO partners, Moglix will distribute Rural Homecare Kits to rural community health workers to provide a household point of care service for mild COVID-19 cases, thereby reducing pressure on healthcare facilities. Moglix will provide PPE kits with various equipment for supporting home care to on-ground NGOs, social enterprises, and administrative bodies.

The financial assistance secured from SAMRIDH will enable Moglix to strengthen the home care delivery infrastructure in rural India and build capacities of rural frontline workers such as ANMs, ASHA, and Anganwadi workers. The solution aims to reach 55,000 frontline workers through capacity building and distribution of homecare kits covering over 33,00,000 households.

sellers, and service providers on one platform – an e-Marketplace for medical equipment. PrimedeQ’ s solution, leasing high quality medical equipment to hospitals at favorable financing terms, will expand hospitals’ critical care capacity to treat COVID-19 patients by providing a pool of critical care medical equipment on rent for short-term to tide over future health emergencies.

With SAMRIDH’s support, PrimedeQ will help hospitals to temporarily expand their critical care capacity by providing streamlined access to affordable short-term equipment rentals. They will relocate and re-use equipment to augment the capacities of hospitals in tier-2/3/4 towns in Karnataka. This initiative will serve critical patients in the ICUs by increasing access to quality healthcare while removing the risk of procuring costly equipment for hospitals, allowing them to run their operations in an asset-light manner.

“business in a box” solution.

SWACHH 4.0 is a low-cost modular ultrasonic machine with availability of multiple add-ons for producing high quality 3-ply masks at a faster rate (50,000 per day). This hybrid automatic machine works on the technology of ultrasonic sealing of non-woven materials used in sanitary pads and masks. It is compact, easily operable and ideal for medium to high scale production requirements. This decentralized machine technology leads to availability of affordable, high quality surgical masks while ensuring a regular supply in different locations.

Over the next 1 year, support secured from USAID’s COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund will enable Saral Designs to increase access to high quality masks in vulnerable communities at subsidized rates thereby reducing the spread of the aerosol based infection – COVID-19. To ensure long-term utility of the machines and gain maximum value from the investments, the SWACHH 4.0 can be used for making menstrual hygiene products ensuring livelihood of the local communities post the pandemic.

Through their proprietary application called Integer ™, StratMed aims to create the world’s first fully aggregated healthcare supply chain ecosystem. This multisided market business model creates value by facilitating exchanges between manufacturers/distributors and hospitals/healthcare providers/clinicians. In addition, it aims to bring transparency of information to drive down the costs and consumption optimization for the hospitals and healthcare providers and better Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) for pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors. StratMed uses network-powered insights and proprietary tools to work on all cost levers across critical areas of clinical, operational, and supply chain performance.

Through this partnership, the project aims to address the procurement needs of 800 + hospital groups, implying over 30,000 beds and over 5 million patients.

What started as a 20-bed facility now houses over 120 beds, Sukhda hospital has been providing affordable preventative primary healthcare for the last 19 years. Using Sukhda hospital as the main hub, the project aims to create multiple “spokes” which stem out of the hub within a 100 km radius. These “spokes” will each be equipped with quality yet affordable healthcare services while also creating a community of physicians and specialists for teleconsultation on tougher cases. Each spoke will be connected to the hub and will work through the established communication channels of telemedicine, diagnostics, etc.

The long-term goals of this structure include, providing multiple First Points of Contact through the spokes., Continuity of Care, Providing Comprehensiveness of Care, Providing transparent and Managed Care structures.

This main aim of this project is to strengthen its systems through provision of comprehensive and continuum of healthcare. Increased mortality and low morbidity rates in the target areas. Reduction in fatalities due to shortfall of health services.
