Oral Health Promotion for Women in Rural Karnataka, India through Women Self Help Groups - an IIM Model

Oral Health Promotion for Women in Rural Karnataka, India through Women Self Help Groups.



Problem: What problem is this project trying to address?

Health Disparity is universal phenomenon and true for oral health also. The oral health disparity exists in terms of rich and poor, rural and urban and between men and women. Main reason being lack of awareness, inequitable distribution of service providers, who, cost of care, unavailability of services and no budgetary allocation or oral health policy at national or regional level in India . This situation makes the oral health services unaffordable and way beyond the reach of our rural population. Thus, primary prevention of oro-dental problems through education, and making available of services and empowering women population to afford these services is the need of the hour and it is high time to activate such strategic programmes for this population.

Solution: What is the proposed solution? 

Increasing the knowledge : to create awareness among the rural population the women self help group will be given health education every Friday in a month , as a routine programme for one year which will cover 57 SHGs and a population of 1425 in around Halasuru. To improve the access to services: The women attending this education programme will get the free screening and the treatment at RHTC a satellite center from M.R.Ambedkar Dental College in Halasuru village, Kanakapura taluk, Ramnagara District. Monitor the Cost: For the sustainability of this programme with the help of funding from the Asoka a micro insurance plan will be provided for these women who can avail the treatment in the centers free of cost.
