Summary

Society for Action in Community Health (SACH) has come a long way since it was founded in 1988 by a group of medical professionals. Initially focused on policy advocacy to improve the access of the urban poor to public health services in India, SACH over the years has grown to become one of the pioneering organizations to deliver community based healthcare services to rural poor at their door steps through well equipped mobile healthcare vans, educating the rural and urban poor on non communicable diseases and in particular self management of diabetes, training of nutritionists and other paraprofessionals on clinical and non clinical management of diabetes through lifestyle modifications, etc. During the course of time, recognizing the need to address the multifaceted dimensions of poverty and deprivation, we strived to expand beyond the health issues related to urban poor and engaged towards sustainable interventions in rural development, disaster response and risk reduction.
