| Abstract: | The Kurumba community, one of the indigenous tribal groups of Attapadi in Kerala, faces several socio- economic and health challenges due to their remote location in the Western Ghats. Despite Kerala’s overall progress in human development, the Kurumba’s continue to experience significant disparities, particularly in healthcare access, education, and economic opportunities. Their primary livelihood activities, such as shifting cultivation and forest gathering, are deeply tied to their cultural identity. However, these traditional practices have not shielded them from the harsh realities of poverty, malnutrition, and limited access to healthcare. Maternal and child health is a significant concern, with high rates of maternal and infant mortality, malnutrition, and a lack of proper healthcare services. The geographical isolation of the Kurumba villages, coupled with inadequate transportation and healthcare infrastructure, makes it difficult for them to access modern medical care. Additionally, traditional healing practices and a lack of health literacy further prevent many community members from seeking formal healthcare. Although the government has implemented various initiatives such as mobile health units and the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), these programs often fail to address the community's specific needs. This paper highlights the health issues faced by the Kurumba tribe and suggests strategies for improving healthcare access, including enhancing healthcare infrastructure, increasing awareness, and promoting culturally sensitive health interventions. |
