We are social business working towards improving primary healthcare in India, making it more affordable and accessible to lower income segments of urban and rural populations. Pathfinder Health India's vision is to dramatically reduce ill health events for all, with special emphasis on the aspiring urban communities via a high impact Primary Health solution and to set up an effective scalable health business, delivering high quality, low cost primary health care. Working with partners and training institutions to establish a workforce of general practitioners, nurses and healthcare assistants. The opportunity is now. India is starting to discuss primary Health and family medicine. Writing in the Laaanceta team from the Public Health foundation of India (PHFI) recommended that the most pressing need is for primary healthcare. In the UK Primary healthcare is now being given responsibility by the government for the majority (80%) of the healthcare spend (recognising that this is where the greatest impact is made) because this is where 80% of health work is delivered. It is the most cost effective and impactful place to spend money. This is where prevention and easy access to health takes place and where the' ring is held' for the patient.
