Noora Health The desire to help the people we love is universal. Access to caregiver training and support is not. For more than a decade, we've been building Noora Health to address this gap

Noora Health is a non-profit offering a scalable programme for delivering healthcare education and training within established healthcare systems. The programme provides basic yet vital healthcare knowledge and skills by training public healthcare providers at multiple levels, including those that are closest to the patient - family and community.

On a daily basis, Noora Health’s Care Companion Programme trains  over 24 million caregivers and patients and more than 21 000 healthcare workers across India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Indonesia.  It does this by integrating and collaborating with healthcare systems and governments to provide high-impact primary healthcare skills training to individuals and families. This helps family members become the cornerstone for patient recovery in healthcare facilities and at home.
