How we work

From the first call to the annual report, with the decision points named.

The engagement

Eight steps, roughly six to eight weeks

  1. First conversation

    Population size, ages, location, and what has been done before. Half an hour is usually enough.

  2. Scoping note

    We come back with a delivery plan, a per-beneficiary cost after the Foundation contribution, and a date range.

  3. Approval and memorandum

    The school management or programme owner approves, and a memorandum of understanding is executed.

  4. Consent and registration

    Parent or guardian consent is collected. ABHA numbers are generated or linked, and rolls are reconciled.

  5. Camp day

    Screening, sample collection and consultation, run to a published timetable so that teaching time is disturbed as little as possible.

  6. Issue

    Cards are personalised and handed over; profiles go live in the personal health cloud.

  7. Referral

    Flagged children are counselled with their parents and referred, and the referral is tracked until it closes.

  8. Annual report

    The school or community receives its disease statistical report, and the anonymised aggregate joins the surveillance picture.

What we ask of you

Three things, and they are not negotiable

A room and a queue that works

Two private consultation spaces, one waiting area, power and a table for registration. We bring everything else.

Consent collected honestly

Parents must be told what is being collected and why, before the day, in a language they read.

Somebody who owns it

One named person at the school or programme who can make decisions on the day.

Start at step one.

Tell us the population and we will do the rest of the thinking.
