Overview
Community Science Alliance (CSA) is a partnership of community health organizations, clinicians, and researchers advancing the science and practice of contextually relevant evidence-based medicine in resource constrained settings.
The CSA was launched in response to the COVID-19 pandemic as part of the Swasth Alliance, when we created a suite of evidence-based clinical pathways for COVID-19 care in rural and tribal communities in India. [Learn more]
The CSA is now an initiative of Social Alpha’s Health & Wellness Architecture, building on our focus on Primary Healthcare.
Key Focus Areas
The CSA will leverage contextually relevant task-shifting, training, and technology to advance care delivery and access through strategic investments and innovations in processes, pedagogy, and infrastructure.
The CSA’s programs are focussed on three related levers of change-
01
We create streamlined, actionable, validated and contextually appropriate clinical care pathways to deliver quality care in resource-limited settings
02
We train medical fellows to become life-long practitioners and advocates of evidence-based primary care
03
We develop, pilot, and scale meaningful digital health technologies to purposefully address clinical and population health needs among the most underserved
