The pilot REACH scheme in Madurai, India clearly demonstrated the significant value to healthcare that such a model could bring and, although not fully achieving financial sustainability itself, demonstrated that full sustainability is also possible.
Keen to extend the implementation of the REACH model into other contexts, and broaden experience of implementation, we have developed a document to encourage other organisations to adopt the REACH model in providing valuable healthcare provision to deprived communities. Our intention is that the document provides both an overview into what may be involved in implementing such a scheme, and also a practical guide, based on past experience of how to conduct a successful implementation.
