What specific problem are you solving?

The problem is worsened by poor healthcare infrastructure, with 40 district hospitals, 564 health centers, and 2700 health posts lacking accessibility upgrades. 28,000 healthcare providers with no training in inclusive care, leading to widespread healthcare exclusion.
