About the Project
Project SANJEEVANI is a comprehensive public healthcare initiative designed to strengthen the physical infrastructure and clinical readiness of four selected government healthcare facilities in Chittapur Taluk, Kalaburagi District, Karnataka (Nalwar PHC, CHC Hebbal, Karwar PHC, and Tengli PHC).
The project follows a phased implementation framework across the four facilities, addressing critical gaps in civil infrastructure, electrical systems, plumbing, sanitation, medical gas and vacuum pipeline distribution, essential biomedical equipment, and pharmacy storage. Through these interventions, the project aims to upgrade maternal, newborn, and emergency healthcare delivery serving an estimated catchment population of over 1.7 lakh people across rural communities.
