Voluntary Health Association of India (VHAI) is a non-profit, registered society formed in the year 1970.  It is a federation of 27 State Voluntary Health Associations, linking together more than 4500 health care institutions and grassroots level community health programmes spread across the country.

 

VHAI’s primary objective is to “make health a reality for the people of India” by promoting community health, social justice and human rights related to the provision and distribution of health services in India.

 

VHAI tries to achieve these goals through campaigns, policy research, advocacy, need-based training, media and parliament interventions, publications and audio-visuals, dissemination of information and running of health and development projects in some difficult areas.

 

VHAI works for people-centered policies and their effective implementation.  It sensitises the general public on important health and development issues for evolving a sustainable health movement in the country with due emphasis on its rich health and cultural heritage.

 

IIMK supported the relief work which was co-ordinated by VHAI:

 

Emergency Aid after Earthquake - Gujarat (01-2001)

2001

Emergency Aid after Tsunami - Little Andaman (12-2004)

2005
