About MPVHA
Madhya Pradesh Voluntary Health Association (MPVHA) was founded in 1973 to meet the health needs of the people and to enhance their role in development. MPVHA is a registered secular, non-political and non-profit making organisation and one of the largest health networks in the state.
The vision of MPVHA is to make health a reality for all in Madhya Pradesh, through their involvement and participation.
The focus of MPVHA is on women and children with a special emphasis on weaker, marginalised and vulnerable sections of the society. The majority of the interventions are for better health rights in the difficult and needy rural periphery of the state with a high density of scheduled caste (SC) and scheduled tribe (ST) populations.
