3rd Swasthyamitra Excellence Awards

More than half the world’s population does not receive essential health care services. The situation is even worse in developing countries like India. To bring healthcare closer to the public, including the ones living towards the bottom in the financial pyramid GNRC, first super specialty healthcare service provider in North East India, had launched the Affordable Health Mission (AHM) in 2017. The mission has now spread to the corners of Assam and the region, thanks to the untiring efforts of the missionaries – Swasthyamitra (Health Messengers) – who now number over 6,500, and has touched the lives of more than 12 million individuals.

To recognize and honour their contribution to this immense achievement, GNRC organized the Third Swasthya Mitra Excellence Awards programme, at the Pragjyoti ITA Centre, Machkhowa attended by over a 1100 Swasthyamitras (SMs) on 8th January, 2023. A total of 200 Swasthyamitras received medals and certificates for their exemplary contribution to ensure quality healthcare for everyone in their localities. Senior Journalist and Columnist Mr Prakash Mahanta and Mr Paragamoni Aditya were present in the event as Chief Guest and Guest of Honour respectively.
