Recognizing the unique health challenges faced by tribal populations due to geographical isolation, socio-economic disparities, and cultural differences, the THC Division serves as a dedicated platform to bridge the existing gaps in healthcare delivery and ensure equity in access to health services.
The primary objective of the division is to act as a guiding force for the government in shaping and implementing health policies specifically tailored to address the needs of tribal communities. By focusing on the distinct cultural practices, health-seeking behavior, and traditional knowledge systems of tribal groups, the division emphasizes the development of inclusive health policies and programs. This involves not only enhancing access to basic health services but also addressing critical issues such as maternal and child health, nutrition, infectious diseases, and non-communicable diseases prevalent in these populations.
Through its dedicated efforts, the Tribal Health Cell Division envisions creating a resilient, culturally appropriate, and inclusive healthcare system that addresses the unique health needs of tribal communities, ultimately contributing to their overall well-being and development.
