Main Body
Preventive and promotive healthcare mainly refers to healthcare practices that prevent health issues and promote healthy living. ROLE OF COMMUNITY INTERVENTIONS: (1) Inclusion of all sections - eg inclusion of women's health care under Mission Indradhanush due to ASHA workers being women from same area. (2) Tackling superstitions - eg District administration mobilization in tribal districts of Bihar employed village elders & religious leaders to control COVID vaccine hesitancy. (3) Child healthcare & teaching last mile - (4) Polio eradication was successful due to community inclusion and targeted ads - 'do boond zindagi ki'. (5) Tackling malnutrition via community efforts - eg POSHAN 2.0, ASHA workers taking health measurements.
