Swasti is a Health Catalyst that strives to achieve 100 million ‘well’thy days among

health systems for it to effectively work for the poor. To add “well”thy days to the lives
of the world’s poor by 2030, our glocal multi-disciplinary team co-designs
demonstrable and scalable solution models in partnership with communities on the
ground and influences policies nationally and internationally. We Care. Innovate,
Demonstrate and Transform to a time when Wellness Becomes “Real” For Vulnerable
Communities. i4We is a system innovation in primary healthcare, which combines
health and wealth interventions, and focuses on wellness for the poor in an
affordable, quality assured and scalable way.
