Himachal Pradesh Voluntary Health Association Details
With the objective of ‘Making Health a Reality for the people of Himachal Pradesh Himachal Pradesh Voluntary Health Association (HPVHA) a state chapter of Voluntary Health Association of India (VHAI) is working on various issues and concerns in health and sustainable development since 1987. HPVHA strongly advocates the necessity of Health Promotion and targeted interventions which not only involves the prevention of diseases but creates an appreciation with regard to the importance of health as an end in itself.The initial objective was to create a supporting and enabling environment for all. \Health for All\ was a mission which everyone wanted to achieve during the period of late 80's. The public health sector was not able to satisfy the needs of the people. So a supporting organisation was required which would help generating demand for such services and also facilitate the government to implement the same. Himachal being a mountainous state with scattered villages and a difficult terrain it was difficult for the health services to reach everyone in the state. Moreover the efforts by the Public Health sector were mostly treatment oriented rather than Preventive and Promotive. This was the Gap HPVHA planned to fill in. Their premiere objectives were: 1) Going beyond treatment 2) Not become just a service wing 3) Increase knowledge 4) To play a preventive and promotive role. The need for an organised front on the Public health sector health needs of people were to be safeguarded. There was a felt need that the state should have a plural and organised voice of a network of NGOs rather than unorganised units. The situation in Himachal was such that needs were diverse and only a network could achieve Health for All Networking amongst all the members and Increased cooperation between government and NGOs.
