This case study looks at how India’s rural areas face healthcare challenges due to a lack of qualified professionals and changing health needs. It highlights the Community Health Entrepreneurs (CHEs) model, developed by the Healing Fields Foundation, where rural women are trained to provide preventive care, collect health data, and offer telehealth support. CHEs play a key role in bridging healthcare gaps, overcoming cultural barriers, and improving health outcomes in their communities. They help ensure ongoing care and support long-term health management, empowering women as leaders in healthcare.
