Taking the Pulse of India's Health - Questionnaire/Survey

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

Greetings from the World Care Council (India)

We are writing to invite your participation in an innovative campaign

towards building a democratic foundation for a 'healthier' India.

* Taking the Pulse of India's Health *is a series of National

consultations to gather the opinions of Indians on their healthcare

services of today, and their hopes and aspirations for the future.

These consultations use questionnaires or surveys that aim to reach out widely

to 'hear the voices' of a broad base of the consumers of health services, and to

encourage wider discussion of the issues raised.

Responding to the questions actively grows the 'stakeholding' of the

public in health issues, which will contribute to improving both policy and

practices across India.

Powered by partnerships, this new initiative has already brought

together many civil society organizations and individuals in common

cause, including the Public Health Foundation of India, India Business Alliance,

Family Health International, and The Hindu among many others.

Partners agree to fill in the questionnaire, to encourage the same

within the workplace, and then to reach out to their contacts and

communities to mobilize still more people to complete the survey.

*So please 'Take Your Pulse' now. *The online questionnaire requires

about ten minutes to complete, and can be found at:

-national-consultation

You will have to register and login to answer the survey, and to leave

comments.

After completing the questionnaire, we ask you to help to spread the

word by forwarding this mail and link to others so they too can

participate.

Together, civil society is taking its own pulse, and forging a new tool for

increasing 'democracy in health'.

Results will begin to be published online from the 10th of December,

International Human Rights Day.

Thank you, and warm regards.
