Achieving Health Equity in Nagaland, India: Collaboratively Paving a Way Forward

Dr. Rhondemo A. Kikon, Humboldt Fellow (German Chancellor Fellowship Programme), Heidelberg Institute of Public Health

Nagaland is a state located in the remote region of Northeast India. It is isolated geographically, presents with poor health indicators, lacks skilled healthcare workers, and has poor infrastructure. Tribal communities make up almost 90 percent of Nagaland's population. Over 70 percent of the state's population lives in rural areas.
Community Health Initiative (CHI) is a Non-Governmental Organization that was established in 2012 in Nagaland. CHI focuses on improving health in Nagaland. It works in the areas of strengthening primary health care services, water sanitation and hygiene, nutrition, and livelihood. The vision of CHI is to support the development of healthier and sustainable communities in Nagaland. Within communities, CHI aims to support synergistically government structures, civil society, families, and health workers. CHI’s mission is to provide innovative and evidence-based solutions to health as well as social challenges in Nagaland.

Alle Termine der Veranstaltung 'Medical Anthropology Forum - Wintersemester 2022/23':

The forum as a public event was designed to be a space where senior students and researchers could gather with MAHASSA students and other interested parties to discover and discuss current themes in medical anthropology. Medical anthropology raises important intellectual and scientific questions about human suffering and wellbeing, and about the human body in its relation to culture and society. This is a “survey course,” meaning that we will survey the most important topics in this field, including illness and suffering, ethnomedicine, ritual healing, the anthropology of the body, mental health and culture, medical pluralism and hegemony, critical medical anthropology, science technology and medicine studies, and others.

Please note that individual talks are offered in person (or possibly in a hybrid format), while others are offered online only.
