CBCI-CARD is a registered, non-profit society of leading Catholic National Organisations working in health and development in India. With a specific focus on TB, HIV/AIDS, Malaria and related diseases, the organisation attempts to better coordinate and network the activities of the Catholic Church in India in the field of health through an overarching vision and mission. The health policy of the Catholic Church in India ('sharing the fullness of life') envisages a healthy society where people, especially the poor and the marginalised, attain and maintain holistic well being. Consequently, CBCI-CARD looks upon its vision in health as the fulfillment of a divine call, not just a profession, through a commitment to protect life, and transform it through genuine compassion, participation of people, sustainable development, and a holistic approach. Its mission is to provide humanising care, ensure preventive, curative and rehabilitative health, and engage in social mobilisation of the community. Its strategic priorities include greater partnership and involvement of stake holders at every level, better outreach, especially to the under-served areas, and challenging fields; improved quality of service and efficient management. The Catholic Church network has a total of 5937 healthcare facilities in India. CBCI CARD has also been working in the Global Fund RCC TB Project 2008 onwards, covering 19 states. Under Project Axshya, CBCI CARD is covering 24 districts across four states in a phased manner. In year one, there are seven districts, another 12 in year two, and five more in year three.
