The centrality of health outcomes to India’s overall development cannot be over stated as poor health is not only a consequence of but also a major cause for persisting inter-generational poverty.
Working together or in collaboration has been recognised as one of the best approaches for development. A strong collaboration between Government and NGOs / Public and Private sectors has been the growing hope for the last few decades in the process of development.

CHAPTER 84
How Community-Based Organizations Are Addressing Nursing's Role in Transforming Health Care
Mary Ann Christopher, Ann Campbell
“The day may soon dawn when we Americans can enjoy a measure of life and health that is consistent with our extraordinary resources and the intelligence of our people. The pioneers have begun their work; it is far from finished. New fields, new enterprises, are visible. The times call for the high spirit of the courageous pioneers among physicians, scientists, and nurses.”
Lillian Wald
This is a time of rapid transformation in health care, one in which community health nursing has a critical role in advancing individual and public health. As the United States integrates the mandates of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), community health organizations have a pivotal role in affecting the health status of the nation, particularly for vulnerable populations. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement, through the construct of the Triple Aim, calls on all members of the health care team to improve the health of the population, improve the consumer experience and reduce the cost of care. The Institute of Medicine's (IOM) report on The Future of Nursing has charged nurses to become equal partners in the development of health policy and practice (IOM, 2011). The IOM report Public Health and Primary Care has challenged practitioners to coordinate efforts for the betterment of patients (IOM, 2012a).
Community-based organizations are strategically positioned to provide the leadership as well as the integration and coordination of services necessary to carry out these aims. Further, the community-based sector of the nursing profession is poised to influence the transformation of health care delivery by drawing on principles that are core to the discipline. By partnering with communities, creating innovative approaches to care as the system evolves, and engaging the communities they serve, community health nurses can deliver on the promise of quality health care for all. This chapter discusses the approaches of the Visiting Nurse Service of New York (VNSNY) to mobilize the strengths of the community to improve public health, establish cross-continuum interprofessional teams to affect the continuum of the patient care journey, and promote public policy to advance funding methodologies that more adequately consider risk factors of vulnerable populations.
Community as Partner and the Community Anchor
Community Anchor is a concept that is being developed by the VNSNY as a way to build healthier communities. The Community Anchor is a term that suggests if nursing is going to exercise its responsibility for the individual as well as public health, the profession must recommit to its traditional focus on grassroots needs assessment and service provision, so brilliantly illustrated by the work of Lillian Wald, founder of the Henry Street Settlement House, the VNSNY, public health nursing, 665occupational health nursing, the first pl.

The description of the grant to be used in this paper includes the promotion and foster of community partnerships to reduce homelessness in various communities. In essence, the project is intended to engage both provincial and territorial government levels to join the effort of aligning homelessness investments and priorities with the ultimate goals and objectives to prevent and reduce the aspect of homelessness especially in many youths (Forchuk, 2018). To elaborate, the grant is a unique program based on community affairs with the ultimate goals of eliminating if not reducing homelessness issues within various communities. Moreover, the project is aimed to accomplish this by encouraging funders to directly provide their support and funds to about sixty designated communities across all territories and provinces that are possible to reach. The most appropriate hyperlink for identifying RFP is: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6054288/
One of the significant factors that make this grant to be worth and for one to gain the confidant of pursuing it is the fact that it has been witnessed working for other countries. For instance, the grant was implemented in Canada in 2011, where it served over three hundred projects and managed to raise over fifty-five million Canadian dollars. The funds were well utilized by focusing them on, especially youth and young adults of age fifteen to twenty-eight. Based on that, it is a potential grant that I believe if well managed it is worth to take the risk as it guarantees the reduction of homelessness.
For evaluation purposes, several questions were identified to assess whether the grant was aligned with the objectives and goals of eliminating or reducing the aspect homelessness in various communities within the country. Furthermore, there were designed questions that aimed at assessing the progress of the program in its implementation including coordination, communication, reporting, adherence to housing first principles, monitoring as well as an assessment of early outcomes of the grant.
In accomplishing all the necessary criteria that were required by the project, I utilized Bing as my search engine for the task.
The goals and objectives of the selected funding agency are to ensure that it provides all the necessary resources that can enable the non-profitable organizations with its purposes of fulfilling the intended impact towards the communities concerned. Besides, the agency is aimed at addressing the essential issues relating to homelessness of especially youths and young adults within different communities.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

This significant growth can be attributed to various factors, including collaborations and partnerships among leading companies, the expansion of diagnostic chains, and increasing accessibility to diagnostic services across the country. This comprehensive report delves into the market dynamics, recent trends, drivers, competitive landscape, and benefits of the research report, providing a detailed analysis of the India Diagnostic Labs Market.
Collaborations and Partnerships
Collaborations and partnerships among leading companies play a pivotal role in driving the growth of the India Diagnostic Labs Market. These strategic alliances allow companies to merge their expertise, strengthen their market positions, and offer innovative solutions. By combining resources, companies can enhance their research and development capabilities, expand their product portfolios, and improve their distribution networks. These collaborations also facilitate the sharing of technological advancements and best practices, contributing to the overall growth of the market.
Expansion of Diagnostic Chains
The expansion of diagnostic chains is a driving force behind the growing demand for diagnostic lab services. Diagnostic chains often establish multiple laboratories and diagnostic centers in various cities and regions, including urban and rural areas. This expanded network makes diagnostic services more accessible to a larger portion of the population, addressing healthcare disparities and reaching underserved populations. The presence of diagnostic chain facilities in multiple locations within a city or region provides convenience for patients, reducing travel time and effort. A broader network of labs often leads to reduced waiting times for appointments and sample collection, ensuring that patients receive timely and efficient diagnostic services.
Rising Prevalence of Chronic Diseases
The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is a significant driver for the demand for diagnostic lab services. Chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer require regular monitoring and diagnostic testing for effective management. The rise in chronic diseases necessitates the use of advanced diagnostic tools and technologies, driving the growth of the diagnostic labs market. Additionally, early diagnosis and timely intervention are crucial for managing chronic diseases, further boosting the demand for diagnostic lab services.

Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT
Background
Community
development
has
been
a
long
standing
practice
within
the
genre
of
people’s
empowerment
for
improving
their
life
situations.
Over
the
many
decades,
community
development
has
moved
towards
‘community
engagement’
which
is
fostered
when
those
within
a
specific
community
(the
insiders)
are
invited
to
participate
by
those
with
professional
responsibilities
(those
external
to
the
community
–
local/state
government
officials,
health
care
providers,
or
other
community
members)1
.
Community
engagement
is
the
process
of
working
collaboratively
with
and
through
groups
of
people
affiliated
by
geographical
proximity,
special
interest,
or
similar
situations
to
address
issues
affecting
the
well-‐being
of
those
people.
It
is
a
powerful
vehicle
for
bringing
about
environmental
and
behavioural
changes
that
will
improve
the
health
of
the
community
and
its
members.
It
often
involves
partnerships
and
coalitions
that
help
mobilise
resources
and
influence
systems,
change
relationships
among
partners,
and
serve
as
catalysts
for
changing
policies,
programmes,
and
practices.
Moreover,
community
engagement
is
grounded
in
the
principles
of
community
organization:
fairness,
justice,
empowerment,
participation,
and
self-‐determination2
.
Operating
Principles
To
achieve
successful
collaboration
with
a
community,
all
parties
involved
need
to
strive
to
understand
the
point
of
view
of
“insiders,”
whether
they
are
members
of
a
neighbourhood,
religious
institution,
health
practice,
community
organization,
or
public
health
agency.
Key
to
developing
such
understanding
is
to
recognize
one’s
own
culture
and
how
it
shapes
our
beliefs
and
understanding
of
health
and
illness3
.
In
keeping
with
this
premise,
the
logic
model
for
community
engagement
depicted
here
is
based
upon
integrity,
inclusion,
deliberation
and
influence.

SNEHA’s
approach
towards
Community
Engagement
At
SNEHA,
the
direct
intervention
Phase
of
our
Aahar
programme
was
implemented
in
Dharavi,
covering
300
Anganwadis
with
the
goal
of
reducing
wasting
among
children
under
three
years
of
age.
The
programme
implementation
focused
on
early
screening,
growth
monitoring
and
home-‐based
care
for
both
children
under
three
years
of
age
as
well
as
pregnant
women.
The
programme
has
been
able
to
establish
that
a
well-‐implemented
Community-‐based
Management
of
Acute
Malnutrition
(CMAM)
model
can
reduce
malnutrition
prevalence
rates
in
urban
slum
settings
in
a
time-‐bound
and
cost-‐effective
manner.

Aahar
Phase
II
(Indirect
Intervention
April
2016
to
March
2019)
attempted
to
improve
coverage
of
six
mandated
services
of
ICDS
(which
includes
supplementary
nutrition,
nutrition,
and
health
information
immunization,
referral,
health
checkup,
and
preschool
education)
across
150
Aganwadis
in
Dharavi
and
Wadala.
It
attempted
to
build
community
ownership
for
the
health
of
children
through
the
identification
and
training
of
community
volunteers,
to
help
in
building
the
community’s
access
to
Government
services
and
simultaneously
empowering
them
to
negotiate
and
access
services.
Both
the
direct
and
Indirect
intervention
phases
involved
a
cadre
of
community
volunteers
to
demand
ICDS
services
and
support
the
community
in
addressing
child
health
and
nutrition.
SNEHA’s
Prevention
of
Violence
against
Women
and
Children
(PVWC)
works
on
gender-‐based
violence
and
provides
a
comprehensive
package
of
services
to
survivors
of
gender-‐based
violence.
The
programme
intervenes
at
various
levels
across
community
members
to
the
legal
and
police
systems.
The
community
work
focuses
on
creating
awareness
about
domestic
violence
and
preparing
the
community
for
first
level
prevention.
As
a
part
of
the
programme,
micro
planning
processes
are
undertaken
to
understand
the
perspectives
of
the
community
about
gender-‐based
violence,
to
understand
the
availability
of
different
resources
in
the
community
to
help
survivors,
safe
and
unsafe
spaces
in
the
community,
the
situation
regarding
violence
now
and
10
years
back,
and
any
incidences
where
community
members
have
volunteered.
During
the
process,
those
community
members
are
identified
who
have
the
willingness
and
interest
to
join
the
groups.
Regular
structured
sessions
are
conducted
with
them
every
month
to
equip
them
with
the
required
knowledge
and
strengthen
their
understanding.
Community
support
groups
are
formed
across
clusters
–
groups
of
women,
men
and
adolescents.
The
group
members
are
supported
and
encouraged
to
raise
their
voices
against
violence.
They
are
further
aided
with
counseling
services,
legal
and
police
system
assistance
and
information
on
policies
available
to
support
survivors.
We
aim
to
showcase
the
experience
and
insight
that
SNEHA
holds
in
community
engagement
at
the
intersections
of
health,
gender
and
service
delivery.
The
dissemination
event
will
have
a
thematic
session
on
‘Community
engagement’
within
the
broad
objective
of
‘Disseminating
Urban
Health
Models
for
Scaling’.
The
session
will
stimulate
dialogue
on
approaches
to
community
engagement
to
draw
upon
existing
best
practices
influencing
policies.
