4th Swasthyamitra Excellence Awards

Over half of the global population lacks essential healthcare services, with developing nations such as India facing even graver challenges. To bridge this gap and make healthcare accessible to all, including those at the lower end of the financial spectrum, GNRC, the first super specialty healthcare provider in North East India, introduced the Affordable Health Mission (AHM) in 2017. Through the relentless efforts of over 6,500 dedicated missionaries known as Swasthyamitra (Health Messengers), the mission has expanded across Assam and beyond, positively impacting the lives of over 12 million individuals.

Swasthyamitra stands as a distinctive and ambitious endeavour by GNRC. These Community Health Workers provide health education to communities, guiding them to incorporate preventive health measures into their personal, family, and community practices.

To celebrate and acknowledge their significant contributions to this remarkable feat, GNRC hosted the 4th Swasthya Mitra Excellence Awards ceremony today at the Pragjyoti ITA Centre, Machkhowa, attended by over 1,500 Swasthyamitras (SMs). A total of 180 Swasthyamitras were awarded medals and certificates for their outstanding efforts in ensuring access to quality healthcare for all within their communities. Eminent and popular motivational speaker Mr. Dipak Sarma graced the occasion as Chief Guest along with noted columnist and former Associate Professor of Cotton College Dr (Mrs.) Jayasree Borah, and Executive Directors of the Company Mrs Satabdee Borah and Dr Madhurjya Borah.
