1. Health for the tribals. . .

When Drs. Lalitha and Regi arrived in Sittilingi Valley in 1993, the area’s health indicators were among the worst in India: infant mortality was 147 per 1,000 live births, and maternal deaths were frequent. Starting from a small thatched hut that served as their first clinic, they worked alongside the local tribal (Indigenous) community to build what is now a 35-bed hospital and network of trained health workers. Their sustained engagement has helped reduce infant mortality to 8 per 1,000, with no maternal deaths in 15 years — a transformation far surpassing national averages. Dr. Regi George is our first guest of this podcast. If you like this effort and you want to support this podcast, please email to [email protected].
