IFFCO Kisan Finance Expands Arogya Vistaar Programme, Strengthens Last-Mile Healthcare with Doubled Network

Implemented in collaboration with digital healthcare provider DocOnline and NGO Utthaan, the IRDHS model will deliver care through a robust network of Digital Health Centres, mobile nurse-led two-wheeler clinics, trained community health workers (Swasthya Mitras), and periodic health camps. Every touch point in the IRDHS model is built to increase accessibility to stigma-free care in underserved rural communities. The model will support a better continuum of care with frequent follow-ups, thereby improving health outcomes.

In a key step towards holistic care, the programme will now also expand its focus beyond physical health. In FY 2026–27, it will introduce mental health awareness programs to support overall well-being among beneficiaries.

Recognising the close link between community wellbeing and rural livelihoods, the programme will also extend its efforts to animal care. Dedicated livestock health camps with veterinary doctors will be conducted to improve the health and productivity of livestock.

Ranjan Sharma, MD, IFFCO Kisan Finance, said, “Building on the strong foundation of the past year, the expansion of IRDHS reflects our continued commitment to improving access to quality healthcare in rural communities. We are focused on scaling impact and strengthening community-level healthcare delivery.”

Manasije Mishra, MD, DocOnline, added, “As we enter the second year of this partnership with IFFCO Kisan Finance, we are proud to build on the momentum of the IRDHS programme. By integrating digital healthcare with strong on-ground support, we are ensuring that quality medical care reaches underserved communities at scale and improves the clinical outcomes.”
