Our Partners

Healing Fields aspires to help the diverse stakeholders involved in health care break out of their silos and approach solutions more holistically. Healing Fields recognize that access to information, credit, savings, insurance and social protection services --- each have a role to play in poverty remediation, and are all necessary adjuncts of any successful health care initiative.

Greater partnership between NGOs, providers, educators, insurance companies and government agencies will foster more innovative social marketing and allow all to share best practices, achieve economies of scale and scope, and utilize cutting edge research to identify changes in community demographics and needs. Only by working together will Healing Fields generate capacity sufficient to meet the momentous health care needs of India’s poor.
