Smriti Vasisht: Expanding Access to Women’s Health in Underserved Communities

I lead a health system strengthening project focused on reducing health inequalities and improving outcomes for vulnerable populations. Through our work, more women gain access to essential maternal and child health services, while primary healthcare reaches the last mile with a comprehensive range of services.

Last year alone, our efforts impacted over 100,000 people. We work to enhance diverse health services—preventive, promotive, curative, and rehabilitative—ensuring they serve the most marginalized communities. Our project not only supports women of reproductive age but also prioritizes adolescents and the elderly, who face heightened health risks.

We are also addressing critical gaps in women’s healthcare, particularly through early detection and treatment programs for breast and cervical cancer in rural areas with limited medical access. By taking a holistic approach, we ensure that women—regardless of age or location—receive the care they need to improve their health and well-being.

I am proud to champion initiatives that promote gender equality and equip women with the resources to thrive in all aspects of life.
