Jan Swasthya Abhiyan (JSA) is a network of 22 different organizations which includes other networks, organizations working only on health issues, those working on women’s rights and issues as well as academic bodies such as the Centre for Social Medicine and Community Health (CSMCH), Jawaharlal Nehru University. 

JSA provides a platform to organizations that work on many different issues to come together on issues of health and health care. JSA has state units and each state unit has its own activities.  The National Secretariat rotates across the state units. Currently the National Secretariat is being hosted by JSA Delhi.
