Swasti

Swasti, The Health Catalyst, is a public health organization that envisions “Everyday Well-being for Everyone.” It aims to add millions of healthy days to the lives of vulnerable communities by integrating health, social protection, climate resilience, and livelihood solutions. Swasti adopts a whole-of-society approach, creating community-driven, people-centered interventions that promote resilience and sustainable well-being.

Major Interventions:

Swasti’s flagship program, Invest4Wellness (i4We), serves low-income urban communities through a comprehensive and integrated approach. i4We addresses not just health needs but also the economic and social factors that influence well-being. Trained community leaders use digital tools to track health outcomes and maintain transparency. i4We supports early detection and treatment, links people to secondary and tertiary care, and provides health education, insurance, and financial inclusion services. By combining primary care with livelihood support and entitlements, i4We enables families to overcome health shocks and financial stress.

Social Protection: Swasti builds access to welfare schemes through help desks and grassroots partnerships. The aim is to facilitate access to Social Protection services and improve communities' access to the benefits of SP Schemes. The program empowers marginalized individuals to claim social benefits, overcome exclusion, and strengthen their economic and health security.

Academy of Wellbeing equips young leaders, frontline workers, and change agents with essential life skills to address public health and climate issues. It focuses on communication, leadership, and policy engagement to foster everyday well-being. Swasti also trains them to recognize and respond to climate-induced health challenges. The program promotes preparedness, health education, and behaviour change to reduce the impact of heatwaves and seasonal illnesses.

Additionally, Swasti supports quality improvement in maternal and neonatal care across private maternity hospitals under their program, Manyata. It institutionalizes WHO standards, trains providers, and promotes systemic improvements. Call4Svasth is a hybrid (phygital) model that brings holistic healthcare to hard-to-reach populations by combining digital consultations with community-based services. It integrates physical, emotional, and social health care. Taaras empowers women in sex work with leadership training, legal literacy, and access to social services. SHILP strengthens grassroots organizations through capacity building and market linkages.
