The Jan Swasthya Abhiyan is the India regional circle of the People’s Health Movement, a growing coalition of people’s organisations, civil society organisations, NGOs, social activists, health professionals, academics and researchers that endorse the Indian People's health Charter and the People's Charter for Health – consensus documents that arose out of the Jan Swasthya Sabha (National Health Assembly) and the People’s Health Assembly held in December 2000 when concerned networks, organisations and individuals met to discuss the Health for All Challenge.
There are 22 major national networks that constitute the Jan Swasthya Abhiyan. The representatives of the networks form the National Coordination Committee and the National Working Group. The movement is organised through state level and issue based circles. The National Secretariat facilitates communication between members through advocacy and campaigns, a website and discussion group, media releases and publications and through JSA participation in various conferences, policy dialogues and other events supported by JSA volunteers all over the country.
