Activity Description: Villagers in India lack access to affordable healthcare. As a result, life expectancy in villages is 8 years less than for city dwellers, the prevalence of disease is high, and diseases of poverty such as malaria and tuberculosis often go untreated.

Jiva’s "TeleDoc" is a low-cost eHealth program which provides effective Ayurvedic healthcare, and brings high-quality medical attention directly to rural India. In the ‘Women's Healthcare’ component, TeleDoc will provide training, software, and village-appropriate information resources addressing women's reproductive health—including pre-natal and post-natal care.

TeleDoc has treated more than 10,000 patients online and over 12,000 patients at 120 free health camps in India, delivering a total blended value of over $ 230 million for 66,000 patients since 1995.

Jiva won the World Summit Award for health in 2003.
