Developing Public Health Solutions
in Rural Tamil Nadu
The “What”
There is only modest evidence to
guide public health practice
The “What”… 2
Demand-side interventions need to
be culturally-relevant…
… While supply-side interventions
need to be contextually feasible
The “What”… 3
Public health interventions need to
“wrap around” government
initiatives…
… And each other
The “What”… 4
Frequently, simpler interventions are
better interventions
The “How”
Closing the gap between home and
health center is one thing…
… Getting to tertiary care services is
another thing entirely
The “How”… 2
The best interventions can flounder
unless they are sustainable
We are grateful to the people of
Thanjavur district
