Problem Snapshot
80% of CHCs lack specialists
80% of India’s Community Health Centres Struggle Without Specialists
Community Health Centres (CHCs) form the backbone of India’s rural healthcare system, acting as referral units for Primary Health Centres (PHCs). Each CHC is mandated to have four key specialists – a surgeon, physician, gynecologist, and pediatrician. However, nearly 80% of CHCs lack these essential specialists, leaving millions of rural families deprived of critical medical services.
The shortage is most acute in underserved regions. Rural patients often travel long distances to district hospitals, causing delays in treatment and increased out-of-pocket expenses. Pregnant women, children, and chronic patients are especially vulnerable.
Factors such as poor infrastructure, lack of incentives, and challenging living conditions deter doctors from working in rural areas. Bridging this gap requires incentives, telemedicine, public-private partnerships, and NGO involvement to deliver timely and affordable care.

The Journey of PranKiran
When Himanshu Tiwari witnessed the impact of cancer within his own circle, he realized that treatment begins long before the first prescription. It begins with courage, compassion, and connection.
“Healing is more than medicine — it is human connection, small acts of care, and a reminder that you are never alone.”
Watching loved ones struggle not only with the illness, but with silence, fear, and isolation, Himanshu felt a calling to create a space where no one has to face the journey alone. That calling became PranKiran – Ray of Vitality.
🌟 The Philosophy
- “Pran” (life breath) – the essence of being.
- “Kiran” (ray of light) – hope in the darkest times.
- Together, they represent vitality, dignity, and compassion.
Under his leadership, PranKiran was designed as an early emotional support system for patients and caregivers. Through guided check-ins, caregiver empowerment, and community storytelling, his vision is to bring calm and dignity into lives disrupted by cancer.
