COVID-19 Resources

As COVID has changed the world and all of us, here’s a shortlist of how Arogya World is adapting, including additional resources to help you and our program beneficiaries.

In 2020, we digitized our Healthy Schools program and launched new mental health criteria for workplaces in India.  We are also engaging in a global dialogue on public health issues we care deeply about.
