Noora Health
Noora Health equips patients and their families to prevent health complications after treatment. Its teams train doctors and nurses to deliver health skills trainings to families in hospitals, clinics and community gathering spaces, and supports family members digitally to help them ensure proper recovery and prevent the complications that can arise after a patient has returned home. Noora Health has trained over 51 million caregivers and patients to date, representing 33 million patients treated at 16,100 healthcare facilities across India, Bangladesh, Indonesia and now Nepal. We’re currently supporting its ambitious goal to train 70 million caregivers and patients representing 48 million patients by the end of 2027.

Challenge
Healthcare systems across the globe don't generally include family members in patient healing. As a result, family members are often anxious, confused and ill-equipped to care for their loved ones when they return home from healthcare facilities. This can lead to preventable complications and, in some cases, death.
Response
Noora Health equips family caregivers to lower the risk of preventable complications in patients returning home from health facilities. It covers multiple areas, including maternal and newborn health, primary care, diabetes, general surgeries, cardiac care, HIV, tuberculosis care and more.
Partnering with local health systems, Noora teams identify common drivers of complications or even death that could be prevented by simple actions loved ones can take at home, such as medication management or monitoring for warning signs. It then develops high-quality training materials to equip family caregivers with simple, tangible and actionable skills to take care of their loved ones, combined with remote support via WhatsApp after families have left hospital.
Noora Health partners with government systems, helping them set up the infrastructures and processes needed to run the programme themselves.
