Health & Family Welfare

Health

Health is a productive asset that influences economic growth significantly. According to the National Health Policy 2001 the morbidity & mortality levels in the country are still unacceptably high. We recognize that attainment of health indicators have been very uneven across the rural-urban divide. Access to public health services is nominal and health standards are grossly inadequate for the vulnerable sections of the society. The over all objectives of our health programmes have been Promotion of positive health, prevention of diseases, early diagnosis-treatment and follow up of disease, and provision of healthy environment.

We have successfully campaigned in Immunization process through organizing health camps with the help of local Govt. Hospitals and the Immunization included giving up regular doses of Tuberculosis, Diphtheria, Pertussis, Polio, Measles and Tetanus to Children and pregnant mothers.

With our experience we have found that there is immense need to strengthen the Immunization process in both urban and rural areas.

Eye Check up Camp

The program was of great help to the community as all the screened children are living below poverty line. The fact that all the beneficiaries were out of school children – some drop outs and some never been to any formal school, makes the entire effort even more important.

During the camp 10 children were identified with some problem and were referred to the hospital by the team of doctors.

Maternal & Newborn Health

Maternal and Newborn Health is a program designed to influence the government to provide better services for mothers and babies in slum communities. This programme also works with women in the community to ensure they access health care.

It partners with the public health system to strengthen primary health care and to establish a city wide referral system for pregnant mothers across health posts, maternity homes, small and large hospitals, in order to ensure survival of both mother and baby.
