Gono means people, Shasthaya means health, Kendra means centre. That is what it is - the people's health centre. When we started GK, we foresaw what was later picked up in the declaration of Alma Ata. Here health has to be understood with a broader horizon. It must include economic health, the health of the person, but also of the community.
Nutrition depends on agriculture, and that in turn depends on having information and knowledge.
And the development of the community depends on the development of women. Even 28 years ago, when we started GK we knew that all our projects should have the participation of women. You need to be with the people, and struggle with the people. GK is an independent organisation. It is not popular with funders, we were too independent.
