Dr. H. Sudarshan gets health foundation award

Dr. H. Sudarshan, honorary secretary of Karuna Trust, was presented an award by the Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI) for his outstanding contribution and commitment to protecting the right to health of the vulnerable and less privileged communities, and his dedication to strengthening primary health care at the grass roots level with the aim of securing the fundamental needs of indigenous people.
Speaking after receiving the award, Dr. Sudarshan said the success of primary health care in Karnataka had shown that diseases such as HIV/AIDS and mental disorders could be integrated with the primary health care, as could rehabilitation. In the Indian context, this could remove inequalities of class, gender and the marginalised sections. Good governance, he said, could transform outcomes as had been proved in Karnataka.
