Achieving the coveted returns & incremental benefits of averted DALYs & improved QALYs against invested resources, which stand far-fetched in their lifetimes.

APPROPRIATENESS

Responsiveness in critical needs

What?

By implementing a faster intervention timeline for direct financial assistance, Aarogyam tackles treatment refusal and abandonment, thereby reducing preventable deaths. The reduction in catastrophic health expenditure, alongside decreased cause-specific mortality and morbidity, results in improved patient outcomes and a higher quality of life for both patients and their families.
