About Sittilingi
In 1993, 2 doctors started a small primary health care facility here under the name of Tribal Health Initiative [THI]. Read more about THI to familiarize yourself about THI’s work. The website www.tribalhealth.org also has press articles and TV documentaries.
The Rural Sensitization Program {RSP] was started here in 2017 and we are still experimenting to find the perfect program to give young medical students and doctors a snapshot of primary health care, its challenges and its satisfactions. Have a look at some of the photographs and you will get an idea of what happens in the camps.
