Indigenous Healers, Abu Road
What is the role of the indigenous healer in STHR?
Indigenous healers contribute to strengthening the STHR referral system by ensuring timely referral of patients to STHR and also connect to patients through telemedicine (Hub & Spoke Model) in their respective areas.
Indigenous healers act as a bridge between the tribal community and government healthcare services.
What is the significance of indigenous tribal in facilitating the connection between tribal communities and government services?
Healthcare services in tribal regions are often inadequate and worsening. Tribal communities face challenges integrating into mainstream healthcare due to factors like ignorance, hesitation, illiteracy, poverty, and geographical isolation. As a result, tribal individuals primarily rely on traditional healers within their communities for health-related needs, as these healers hold significant influence in their societies.
