SHORT SITUATION ANALYSIS:

Heath is one of the prime sector of development of Govt Of India. Compentance based medical education (CBME) is a declared goal of National Govt. Skill development is anther targeted area of the country. Hence development of competent and skilled health manpower is the need of the hour.

North Eastern Region (NER) of the country is now being explored in multiple way like Industrialisation, Economic development, heath care and Education. The National Govt took it as a challenge to develop this region.

Tripura is one of the eight state of NER and t he third-smallest state in the country, it covers 10,649 km2 and is bordered by Bangladesh to the north,[ south, and west, and the states of Assam and Mizoram to the east. In 2011 the state had 3,671,032 residents, constituting 0.3% of the country's population. About 30% of people of Tripura are from aborigine (tribal) group. Even after all difficulties the literacy rate is very high in Tripura and so its health awareness status and health seeking behavior.

The major health care in the state is provided by the Govt. Health Institutions only. Hence reaching out to people in need of heath care is difficult. On the other hand recent economic development of NER allows the people to attend private health facility. Hence some of the cities of Assam has good private sector health care facility. This is not sufficient in Tripura.

Another problem is emergency and immediate care is case of need. Similarly critical care beds are limited to provide intensive care to save life.

Hence a Heath facility with emergency and critical service at a low cost will be able support the available health facility in the state.

Simultaneously keeping the target of Govt of India In mind, development of skilled and competent man power is urgently required. Hence development of State of art Health Institution in Tripura and North East India is very much required.

Health science is a continuously evolving science. Hence regular research is always mandatory. A Heath institute with facility of research is highly necessary.

In a Country like India a Missionary heath care system can only fulfill the demand every individual. Similarly preventive shold always be taken care .

Hepatitis Foundation of Tripura is the title of a grand family of Social activists of state of Tripura. It’s a social organization for the society, of the society, by the society.

Care of HIV/ AIDS patients through various care and support projects is also an important area of activity of Foundation since 208.

The organization gradually shifted its area of activity to other health care sector particularly Public Health and got enormous success.
