SNEHA

SNEHA is a leading non-governmental organisation committed to advancing health equity among urban poor communities, especially women and children. Founded with a vision to bridge the health equity gap, SNEHA goes beyond simply addressing illnesses — it champions a comprehensive continuum of care approach. This approach focuses on reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health (RMNCH+A), recognising that supporting health across these life stages breaks the intergenerational cycle of poor health.
