Krishi Gram Vikas Kendra
KGVK provides health services in rural areas in India. CEDPA partnered with this organization to provide integrated services for reproductive and child health and infectious diseases in Ranchi, Jharkhand. The project assisted KGVK’s hospital and 13 health centers to provide a package of health services, including prenatal care, delivery by trained personnel, family planning counseling and services, sales of health products, child health services, and treatment of tuberculosis, malaria and sexually transmitted infections. Health workers and Village Health Committees educated community members about reproductive and child health, HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases through health talks, home visits, street plays and special sessions for youth. The CEDPA/KGVK partnership was also successful in helping the centers to become more financially sustainable. Not only did the community and village health workers participate in the renovation of the centers, but community members who are seeking health care at the centers are now willing to pay for good quality services. Nearly one half of the centers were successful in recovering up to 35 percent of their costs through patient fees. In order to promote HIV/AIDS prevention among industrial workers, migrant workers and high-risk groups such as truckers, CEDPA and KGVK led the establishment of the Jharkhand AIDS Prevention Consortium, a broad-based coalition of industrial, government and NGO leaders. CEDPA supported the Consortium’s work by conducting a study of truckers and their helpers. Although four in five truckers had heard of HIV/AIDS, more than one in four reported behaviors that put them at risk of contracting HIV/AIDS.
