Amara Homepage
samara's mission is to improve access to health services for the critically poor, to create and implement a national rural family health specialty, to enable earlier intervention, and a greater sense of community participation and ownership.

The broad goals of amara are:

  1. To provide a cost-effective rural health delivery model for China
  2. To extend the national health care system to its broadest reaches.
  3. To help to realize the UN's Millennium Development Goal #3, Eliminating Gender Disparity at All Levels.
  4. It will also help to realize UN MDG #5, reducing global maternal mortality by 75% by 2015
  5. To develop an effective strategy to undermine the root causes of rural poverty and disease

amara will provide free health care to 30 million of China's ultra-poor - those who make less than ¥1 per day (US 13¢) over the next 10 years.
