Abstract

A traditional list of immediate "basic needs" is food, shelter, and clothing. Many modern lists emphasizethe minimum level of consumption of 'basic needs' of not just food, water, and shelter, but also sanitation,education, and most important of all healthcare.Pregnancy healthcare is a field where people in cities with enough resources are ready to spend whilebasic facilities are not present in rural areas. The project aims at developing a financially sustainablemodel to address the health-care issues of the women at the tier2 level as well as in the nearby rural areaswith the help of Cross-Subsidization.
