IRHS Hyderabad (IRHS)
RHS (Institute for Rural Health Studies)strives to provide quality preventive and curative healthcare to some of the poorest rural communities in Telangana, South India. Drought-prone rural Mahbubnagar District is one of the poorest regions in India. With high mortality and morbidity rates and lack of access to basic health care, this large district ranks as one of the poorest in India on all measures: health, agriculture, education and literacy. Due to poverty-related illnesses coupled with lack of information and ability to travel, villagers find themselves stranded and helpless. The IRHS Clinic started to use OutreachEMR system in late 2018.
