When the river rises: delivering healthcare amid challenges

In the chars (river islands) of the Brahmaputra River in India, life can be challenging. During the monsoon season, these riverside communities are cut off from essential medical care for weeks at a time. With support from the Johnson & Johnson Foundation, UNICEF is enabling dedicated health workers who traverse the hazardous river to deliver much-needed medical care to families in the chars.

The Johnson & Johnson Foundation is a registered charitable organization that reflects the commitment of Johnson & Johnson to create a world without health inequities by closing the gaps between communities and the care they need. Funded solely by Johnson & Johnson, the Foundation operates worldwide as Johnson & Johnson Foundation US (founded 1953) and Johnson & Johnson Foundation Scotland (founded 2007). These independent entities support both global and in-country partnerships and community-led initiatives to champion health workers, especially nurses and community health workers, and advance access to quality healthcare.
