This is a new project that has been started in 2023 . COVID 19 has highlighted the need for health and the disparities.Yi as a young leaders organisation has the responsibility to focus on this if we are serious of our role of Nation Building.

The vertical would subsume the Gift an Organ vertical that was created to promote the concept of organ donation from the 2023.

Can we do something in health as an organisation?

Chapters across India have been engaging in some form of health related activity . this ranges from fitness events , to screening camps to even structured health verticals. 80% chapters have done at least 2 health related activities in the past.

What can we expect?

The Yi Health Plan for 2025 , puts a structure to the activities across Yi. This will help us learn , scale and sustain activities and also measure outcomes more systematically.

The COVID pandemic has shown the importance of health and healthy living. It is important for Yi to become a Strong, Collective Voice for Sustainable Development. This can only be achieved by a wider participation in the “Healthy City” Movement combined with Capacity building through Sharing Best Practices

Aim of the Vertical

Promoting better health and well-being for all children and young people is critical for Yi's Vision of Nation Building . Yi would leverage it's CII Parentage, and its stakeholder focus through a blend of Awareness Building & Implementable Campaigns.

Through this we look to achieve targets of Healthy India by 2030 by addressing the 'ABC' of health and wellness
A – Active Living
B – Bridging Health Inequity
C – Child & Adolescent Health
