• In order to address the various aspects of social determinants of health – awareness has been generated amongst the community members to demand quality healthcare that should match with Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS). PHC Management Committees have been playing a vital role in this facet. The VHAI managed PHC staff provides services in a 24x7 manner and in case of complicated cases, referral is made to hospitals.
• Promotion of traditional medicine in the PHC districts in an integrated manner with other systems of medicine - Two projects have been initiated in Thrizino and Gensi PHC areas. These projects focus on empowering the Local Health Service Providers (LHSPs), who are otherwise known as Traditional Healers.
• HIV/AIDS Control - Three Targeted Intervention Projects are implemented with the support of Arunachal Pradesh State AIDS Control Society (APSACS) to help control HIV/AIDS, mainly among the High Risk Groups.
