Humanitarian action is more than responding to crises. It is about standing with people when they need support the most — protecting dignity, restoring hope and helping communities rebuild stronger and more resilient futures.
On World Humanitarian Day, Humana People to People India recognises the courage and commitment of humanitarian workers and community members who continue to stand together in times of crisis.
At HPPI, we believe that meaningful change begins with people and communities. By working alongside them, strengthening local capacities and supporting sustainable solutions, we strive to ensure that no one is left behind.
Let us stand together for humanity — with compassion, solidarity and action.

🇮🇳 Happy 80th Independence Day! 🇮🇳

Freedom is not only a legacy we celebrate—it is a responsibility we carry forward.

At Humana People to People India, we believe that a stronger India is built when communities are empowered to shape their own futures, when every individual has the opportunity to learn, earn and thrive, and when collective action creates lasting change.

This Independence Day, let us renew our commitment to building an inclusive, resilient and self-reliant India—where every community has the opportunity to move forward with dignity and hope.

"Every interaction with HIV services should be viewed as an opportunity for TB screening."

This is the message from Jahangeer Alam (National Partnership Officer, HPPI) and Dr Sugata Mukhopadhyay (National Technical Advisor for TB, HIV and Health), while calling for meaningful action towards TB elimination.

Early detection remains one of the most critical elements in addressing the TB challenge. Among people living with HIV, TB often does not present with the classic clinical picture. When healthcare systems rely solely on symptom-based screening, this complexity means many infections go undetected until the disease has already progressed.

Both Jahangeer and Dr Sugata arrive at the same conclusion from different perspectives: people should never have to navigate fragmented health systems to access care.

The way forward lies in integrating the latest science and evidence-based TB services into established HIV care and prevention platforms — in a person-centred, community-led manner that places people, not diseases, at the centre of healthcare.

Read detailed insights on TB-HIV eradication from Jahangeer Alam and Dr Sugata Mukhopadhyay of Humana People to People India.

This July, Project Niramaya organised General OPD health camps in three villages of Palwal, Haryana, Harinagar (Rasulpur), Uttawar, and Sultanpur (Tappa), reaching a total of 174 beneficiaries.

Dr. Bhole Shankar (MBBS, MD) led clinical consultations at the camps. Patients were screened for hypertension, diabetes, Tuberculosis, and breast cancer awareness.

The camps were made possible through close coordination with Medical Officers along with frontline workers including ANMs, ASHAs, and Anganwadi Workers, and Sarpanchs (Village Heads) who supported community mobilisation and access.

Combining clinical care with mental health support and nutritional counselling at the doorstep helps bridge the rural healthcare gap while ensuring continuity of care through the government health system.

HPPI's Project Niramaya conducted three training sessions this month to strengthen the skills of frontline health workers who serve as the first point of contact in our villages.

📍 July 2 | PHC Hathin:
👩‍⚕️ 35 ASHAs and 8 ANMs trained in diabetes risk assessment, community screening, and referral pathways.
📍 July 7 | PHC Uttawar:
👩‍⚕️ 53 ASHAs and 12 ANMs trained in diabetes detection, patient counselling, and follow-up care.
📍 July 16 | PHC Tappa:
👩‍⚕️ 32 ASHAs and 3 ANMs trained on hypertension, covering accurate blood pressure measurement, identification of high-risk individuals, and treatment adherence.

🙌 Together, that is 143 frontline health workers now better prepared to detect these diseases early, counsel patients, and guide them to the right care at the right time.

🎓 Dr. Gopal Bhardwaj, Training Officer, led the sessions and reminded everyone why this work matters: most non-communicable diseases can be managed effectively if they are detected early, and ASHAs (Accredited Social Health Activists) and ANMs (Auxiliary Nurse Midwives) are central to making that happen on the ground.

Healthier communities start with well-trained health workers. We are taking regular steps towards ensuring that.
