Rural Healthcare
The ECS (Eleutheros Christian Society) program in Nagaland plays a transformative role in rural health, particularly enhancing primary healthcare, maternal and child services. By prioritizing accessible, quality care, ECS addresses vital health needs in remote areas, where resources are limited. The program also empowers communities through health education and advocacy, fostering local accountability and involvement in health initiatives. Through collaborative efforts with local health workers, ECS ensures consistent maternal and child health monitoring, immunizations, and awareness drives, ultimately reducing health disparities and nurturing healthier, self-sustaining communities across Nagaland.
