iKure’s Hub & Spoke Clinic Model: Revolutionizing Rural Healthcare Delivery

Hub & Spoke Clinic Model:

iKure has pioneered a transformative Hub-and-Spoke model to deliver quality healthcare across underserved and remote regions of India. Anchored in innovation and community collaboration, this model ensures accessible, affordable, and continuous care for populations that are often left outside the mainstream health ecosystem.

With 10 hub clinics across 11 states, iKure’s Hub-and-Spoke model is not just a healthcare infrastructure—it is a lifeline of primary healthcare, ensuring last-mile connectivity, data-driven decision-making, and equitable health outcomes for millions.

At the heart of the model are brick-and-mortar Hub Clinics, strategically established in semi-urban and rural locations, supported by a network of Rural Health Centres (Spokes) situated at the village level. These spokes are staffed with qualified MBBS doctors, trained nurses, and skilled paramedics, ensuring day-to-day care is available close to where people live.

What sets this model apart is its integration with iKure’s proprietary cloud-based platform – WHIMS (Wireless Health Incident Monitoring System). WHIMS enables seamless digital connectivity between hubs and spokes, facilitating real-time referrals, e-consultations, and efficient data management. Patients requiring advanced or specialized care are swiftly referred to tertiary facilities, ensuring timely interventions and reduced disease burden.

iKure collaborates closely with Self-Help Groups (SHGs), NGOs, and community stakeholders, embedding trust and sustainability within the healthcare system.

Impactful Outcomes of the Hub & Spoke Network

 

  1. Localized Access to Care
    Patients receive essential health services in their own communities, minimizing travel, lowering out-of-pocket expenses, and ensuring continuity of care.
  2. Rapid Escalation & Triage
    Cases requiring specialized attention are quickly escalated to the nearest hub or referral hospital, leading to faster diagnosis and reduced complications.
  3. Digitally Integrated Patient Records
    With WHIMS, all patient records are securely stored and shared across the network, eliminating duplication, minimizing errors, and enhancing care coordination.
  4. Effective Public Health Communication
    The network serves as a powerful channel for health awareness campaigns, immunization drives, and epidemic alerts, enabling timely community responses.
  5. Empowering Rural Communities
    By training village women as Health Workers (iCHAs) and creating employment opportunities, iKure fosters rural empowerment and health ownership.
  6. Reducing Load on Urban Tertiary Systems
    Routine diagnosis and treatments are handled within the spoke clinics, allowing tertiary facilities to focus on critical and complex cases.
