Impact to improve Health outcomes

Screening

Early detection & screening for a disease has several benefits for an individual:

  • •Gives a better sense of control over one's body and health
  • •Allows greater focus on crucial areas of concern
  • •Shines light on one's risks to specific hazards
  • •Initiates preventive measures to control a disease

We focus on disease-specific community surveys, screening for child growth & development, hygiene practices for all ages, and screening under national health programs.

Awareness

Education & awareness programs have several benefits for the community:

  • •Handle certain basic conditions and emergencies locally, reducing financial burden
  • •Prepare & cope with certain seasonal diseases early
  • •Reduce stress due to an informed community
  • •Encourage productive lives due to better understanding of health issues

Our awareness work is grounded in health literacy based on demographics (age/gender), literacy, and seasonal or chronic health issues.

Prevention

Practical healthcare skills training has several benefits for an individual or a team:

  • •Multiplier impact where medical assistance might be unavailable or at a distance
  • •Treatment of non-invasive emergencies locally, which lessens financial and time burden
  • •Job opportunities where infrastructure and/or a single doctor might be available but no trained personnel
  • •Better livelihood and improved family conditions

Our prevention efforts target common diseases (cancer, diabetes & hypertension), child growth retardation, maternal & infant mortality, and communicable diseases.
