Training patients and their families with health skills
Noora Health trains patient families with high-impact health skills that improve outcomes and save lives. Our model provides basic yet vital care knowledge through trusted providers by creating a scalable program for caregiving education and training within the established healthcare system. This model expands the care umbrella to include those closest to the patient — their family and community. Noora Health has trained over 30 million caregivers and patients across over 12,400 healthcare facilities in India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Nepal. The program reduces cardiac surgery complications by 71%, newborn readmissions by 56%, and neonatal mortality by 18%. By 2028, Noora Health will expand to reach over 70 million caregivers and patients.
