Abstract:
Now a days, many measures are coming up to reduce the burden of ill health and disability. Among them the most common one is outreach programme. Outreach means accessing hard-to-reach populations. It uses a multidisciplinary approach to overcome challenges and barriers associated with health care services. Twist can be given to these programmes by using new strategies, technology and approaches. Our reach programme not just does uphold the integrity of profession, but also provides a basis for better health development in community. This paper reviews its approaches, strategies and new technologies used for the benefit for population who are in need.
