The Comprehensive Rural Health Project, Jamkhed (CRHP), has been working among the rural poor and marginalized for over 40 years.
CRHP works by mobilizing and building the capacity of communities to achieve access to comprehensive development and freedom from stigma, poverty and disease. Pioneering a comprehensive approach to primary community-based healthcare (also known as the Jamkhed Model), CRHP has been a leader in public health and development in rural communities in India and around the world.
The Jamkhed Institute of Training and Research runs courses which are intended to familiarise students with CRHP’s integrated approach to the principles of Community Based Health and Development (CBHD). Through presentations and facilitated discussions, students study the common health issues and challenges faced in the developing world with possible community-based solutions grounded in a multidisciplinary framework.
