Collaboration: JSS AHER has partnered with ICMR and the Wellcome Trust to focus on sickle cell disease (SCD) screening and management. The institution has also established a Centre for Training, Research, and Innovation in Tribal Health in collaboration with the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India.

Outcomes: This collaboration has led to the development of screening and management protocols for SCD, especially in tribal populations. It has contributed to improved early detection and treatment strategies, as well as capacity building for healthcare professionals in managing the disease.

Collaboration: JSS AHER collaborates with the National Health Mission (NHM) for sickle cell disease management in Karnataka, where the institution plays an active role in policy development and implementation strategies.

Outcomes: These efforts have enhanced the state's ability to manage and treat sickle cell disease through better diagnostic facilities, healthcare outreach programs, and improved community health practices in rural areas.

Collaboration: JSS AHER actively participates in regional healthcare improvement through partnerships with local government health centers, focusing on providing primary healthcare services and medical education outreach.

Outcomes:This collaboration enhances the accessibility of healthcare to rural populations and provides students with hands-on training in real-world healthcare settings, particularly in underserved areas.
