The objective is to analyse the healthcare accessibility, utilization, and satisfaction among beneficiaries of the Swasthya Sathi scheme residing in slum areas. This study aim to shed light on the effectiveness of the Swasthya Sathi Health Scheme in improving healthcare outcomes for vulnerable slum dwellers.
