Ekta has been working on health related issues since its inception in 1994. In Koraput district, disadvantaged communities are faced with a lack of knowledge and access to information which leads to an increase in health and hygiene problems. These issues in turn contribute to the cycle of poverty.

One issue that Ekta is addressing is that of HIV/AIDS, working to counter discrimination & stigma and also strengthening community groups to provide health related services. In this context, Ekta has been associated with Oxfam (I) Trust, Odisha State AIDS Control Society (OSACS) and District Health Department towards provide better health care and support in the project areas. In present, Ekta has been implementing Target Intervention project with 350 Female Sex Workers directly and active target 370 to prevention and care of HIV/AIDS in Koraput, Sunabeda, Semiliguda, Damanjodi, Pottangi and Sunki areas of Koraput District.
