REACH: Our flagship program
Rural Effective Affordable Comprehensive Healthcare (REACH)
REACH is model of proactive healthcare that offers promotive, preventive and primary services to over 50,000 families in 42 villages.
40 years of longitudinal data
With four decades of longitudinal data, REACH provides an unparalleled foundation for public health research and intervention.
Global collaborations
We work with national and international agencies to convert our insights into actionable programs.
Research integrated with care delivery
SHARE India trains community health workers, conducts daily field visits, and operates a tertiary medical center ecosystem so that our research is never divorced from its mission—that of improving health outcomes in rural India.
Project Overview
Rural Effective Affordable and Comprehensive Health Care
REACH 2.0 is a three-year strategic plan by SHARE INDIA to expand comprehensive non-communicable disease screening across 24 villages in Medchal through a structured, sequential rollout.
Longitudinal Indian Family hEalth
The Longitudinal Indian Family Health (LIFE) pilot study was established in 2009. The goal of this study is to understand the link between the environment in which Indian women conceive, pregnancy, and child birth, physical and mental health along with the development of the child.
Community-based Surveillance to estimate incidence and Sero prevalence of acute febrile illness with focus on Dengue and Chikungunya
As part of the Clinical Trial Network established under the National Biopharma Mission through the Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council, ten demographic surveillance sites across India were selected to study the epidemiology of acute febrile illnesses, dengue, & chikungunya
Comprehensive Family-Based Screening, Management & Linkage Utilizing Molecular Diagnostics in a Rural, Underserved Community
STReTCH is a community- and family-based screening program in rural Telangana that integrates molecular diagnostics to identify and manage hypertension, diabetes, tuberculosis, and cervical cancer.
Community Access To Cervical Health

Artificial Heart Program (AHP) is a flagship bio-engineering initiative by SHARE INDIA that brings together engineering institutes, medical institutions, and industry partners to advance the indigenous development of life-saving cardiac assist devices in India through collaborative, innovation-driven research.
HIV, TB, Disease Surveillance & Laboratory Strengthening Technical Assistance
SHARE INDIA provides technical assistance under cooperative agreements supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) to strengthen India’s response to HIV and tuberculosis. Working in close collaboration with national and state health programs, our efforts span disease surveillance systems, laboratory strengthening, diagnostics, treatment optimization, and digital health platforms—advancing data-driven decision-making to accelerate epidemic control and TB elimination.
Strengthening India’s HIV Laboratory Network
Supported by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, SHARE INDIA is strengthening India’s national HIV laboratory systems under NACP by expanding drug resistance testing, improving quality standards, and advancing molecular surveillance. From establishing HIV-1 Drug Resistance laboratories and a national biorepository to scaling ISO 15189–aligned quality systems, this initiative enhances diagnostic accuracy, informs treatment decisions, and strengthens India’s capacity to detect and respond to emerging HIV threats.
