WIN Mumbai
WIN Mumbai is presently fully operational; the project was set up progressively over time as success was achieved and funds made available. WIN is managed by the Centre for the Study of Social Change (CSSC), a registered voluntary Indian organisation with extensive experience in the field of health and development. Since 2001, IFPD actively assists the WIN management on the level of project financing and implementation. A representative of the Foundation travelled to India on a regular basis to assess progress, evaluate needs and outline future objectives. From 2012 onwards, the financing of WIN Mumbai will be mainly ensured by local donors. IFPD will concentrate its efforts on the replication of the WIN programme, first of all in Delhi.
WIN Mumbai includes the operation of 20 health centres, access to a clinic offering ambulatory surgical services, and a centre for management, coordination and training. Expenses related to the operation of one health centre for one year amount to CHF 6,500; as each centre provides medical treatment to an average of 1,000 women and children per year, it is therefore extremely cost-effective. This amount also includes the services and home visits carried out by health workers, costs related to the management and coordination of the project, as well as various training modules (for project staff and beneficiaries).
