NGOs play a significant role in addressing health issues in India. Here are some of the roles and challenges that NGOs face: 1. Providing basic healthcare: NGOs provide basic healthcare services in rural and remote areas with limited government health services. 2. Awareness campaigns: They run awareness campaigns on health issues such as malnutrition, hygiene, sanitation, health regulations, and vaccination drives. 3. Advocacy: Advocacy by NGOs for policymaking, monitoring and more investments in healthcare. 4. Specific health needs: NGOs focus on specific health needs like cancer, AIDS, tuberculosis, mental health, etc. 5. Affordable healthcare delivery: They offer affordable healthcare services in the form of mobile clinics, telemedicine, and community health workers. 6. Federations with community organisations: Many NGOs collaborate and work with local community organisations and government entities to deliver quality healthcare. However, challenges such as inadequate funds and a lack of accessibility to remote areas, the lack of government support, and the shortage of healthcare professionals limit the positive impact of NGOs in addressing health issues in India.
