Indigenous Population / Tribal Health
Though the indigenous / tribal population is reducing in number globally, it is still a significant population group in several developing countries. Major challenges are encountered while providing healthcare services to these populations due to peculiar characteristics like sparsely populated and hard to reach areas, disparities in social and economic status as compared to the general population and resistance to modern medicine.

• Establishing comprehensive advocacy and communication strategies to ensure mainstreaming of the tribal population
• Conceptualizing health programs for these populations based on identified (normative, felt and expressed) needs
• Establishing linkages between the health, education and poverty alleviation programs for the tribal population
