Piramal Swasthya, basis the SATH (Sustainable Action for Transforming Human Capital - Health) MOU signed with Govt. of Assam and NITI Aayog, is appointed as the technical partner for the SATH programme to provide advisory and implementation support to develop Transformational Roadmap and implementation plan in collaboration with the State machinery for the identified eleven areas under the SATH Project. SATH envisions bringing about a transformation of health services in Assam, relating to both service delivery and uptake.  This is an attempt to build Assam as a ‘role model’ state by transforming priority areas within the health system, by creating ‘best practices’ models that are scalable and replicable; designing initiatives for both short term and long term and building capacity within the state so that they are able to sustain the interventions. This model aims to address top few challenges in the State with focus on Non-Communicable Diseases & Maternal and Child Health, thereby reducing the risk of Premature Mortality due to diabetes and hypertension and Maternal/Infant Deaths.

SATH closely work in collaboration (catalytic) with state machinery to:

• Address top few challenges in the state
• Design a robust roadmap of Interventions
• Develop a program governance structure & set up monitoring & tracking mechanisms
• Hand-hold state institutions through the execution stage
• Provide support on a range of institutional measures to achieve the end objectives

Project Objective:  Build Assam as a ‘role model’ state by transforming priority areas within the health system, with a specific focus on creating ‘best practices’ models that are scalable and replicable, designing initiatives for both near term and long term and building capacity within the state.

Services offered: Advisory & Implementation support to State Government towards strengthening the Health Ecosystem through interventions in following domains:

• Health Governance
• Human Resource in Health
• Information Technology
• Supply Chain Management
• Service Delivery (MCH and NCD)

• SATH is a unique initiative to bring about State-level transformation by converging towards ‘Systems Strengthening’.
• The over-arching approach of the SATH project is exploring Innovative and Context Specific Interventions to address the identified challenges within the state
• SATH has taken inspiration from the World Health Organization’s health systems framework & human centric approach in designing solutions which can be scaled
• Paradigm shift from programmatic to systemic approach, paving way for a scalable & replicable approach of SATH with contextualized process designing.
