Mobile health services
For rural and tribal women in the villages of district Jaipur, healthcare had always been a distant dream — not because they did not need it, but because no service ever came to them. GBS changed that. With support from the Runnebaum Foundation, Germany, GBS brought an entire health system on wheels — reaching women in 60 villages who had spent years hiding their health problems, suffering in silence, and going without treatment.
What followed was not just better health outcomes — it was a transformation in how these women saw themselves and their right to care.
About the project
Implemented from 2016 to 2021 — and still continuing — this project was designed with one clear purpose: to reach the women who the healthcare system had left behind. Rural and tribal women from backward castes across 60 villages in Rajasthan's district Jaipur were the focus, and the results have been life-changing. Mobile health units travelled from village to village, setting up camps where women could come forward — many for the very first time — to speak openly about their health, receive diagnosis, and access free treatment. The project dismantled the stigma, fear, and distance that had kept these women away from care for so long.
