Basic Information

"Headquartered in Arogya World works to reduce the global impact of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs), one community at a time. Serving as a global catalyst, they are putting a spotlight on NCDs, and are at the forefront of a movement that is galvanizing action to prevent these serious diseases. The incidence of diabetes has reached catastrophic levels. In India, they are demonstrating their commitment to this urgent health crisis by focusing our efforts on prevention of diabetes through lifestyle changes. Arogya World is a U.S. based non-profit organization striving to change the course of chronic disease. The name of the organization is simply an articulation of their mission. Arogya World follows a doorstep health model, which takes prevention to people where they live, learn and work. Their focus is scalable, science-based programs to reach a large population. These are deployed in schools, workplaces, and bringing information right to people’s phones. Their approach is gaining traction and working hard. They have reached 5 million people so far, and their goal is to reach 22 million by 2022. Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) prevention is at the core of all our work. We work mostly in India, which is particularly hard hit by NCDs – diseases such as Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer and chronic lung diseases. They have shown proof of concept and are in aggressive scale-up mode. Their work is aligned with the Government of India’s priorities and they believe they can help India – and the world – meet the Sustainable Development Goals, especially Goal #3 (health and well-being for all.)
