The Government of Meghalaya, in collaboration with Blockchain for Impact (BFI), Unicef and IIT Mumbai successfully co-hosted a state workshop on Human Centred Design (HCD) in Meghalaya. This event marks the beginning of a fellowship programme that focuses on the deployment of social design fellows for public problem solving in public health at the district level.  This approach aligns with Unicef and Blockchain For Impact's (BFI) programme The India Health and Climate Resiliance Fellowship (IHCRF)’s focus on developing local sustainable solutions under the aegis of the State government. IHCRF looks to build primary health care using HCD featuring data, innovation and multi- sectoral approaches to ensure equity, efficiency to augment health systems.
