Promoting innovative healthcare practices and skills among patients and their families

According to WHO estimates, we are on track to face a shortage of almost 18 million health workers globally by 2030. Around the world, family caregivers often assume expanded roles to compensate for overburdened health systems—a reality brought to the forefront during the COVID-19 pandemic—yet are often under-equipped, leaving facilities feeling alone and helpless. Often, especially in under-resourced settings, this results in insufficient care at home which leads to high rates of preventable re-admissions, complications, and deaths.

We believe that a patient's recovery should be a team effort, where the doctor, nurses, family, and community all form an integral part of the overall plan for care and recovery.

The Care Companion Program

YosAid Innovation Foundation partners with state and national healthcare systems to implement the Care Companion Program (CCP). This program provides essential content and resources, training, and mobile phone-based technologies to effectively support family caregivers and patients at public hospitals and clinics in diverse health areas such as maternal & newborn care; adolescent health; cardiac care; tuberculosis (TB); general medical and surgical care; and non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

YosAid Innovation Foundation has MoUs with the governments of Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, and Odisha, and we are expanding our reach to bring this impactful program to millions of patients and families.
