Health

The poor residents of Bundelkhand area, particularly in villages, have poor health status as villagers lack health awareness and medical care facilities are situated far away from their villages.

Awareness on health issues like family welfare, small family, malnutrition, immunisation, cleanliness, etc., is being created through awareness camps, health related street plays, and household visits.

For making available health services, free health camps and eye camps are organised in the villages.

To cater to the needs of a very remote village in the operational area, an Abhinav Swasthya Kendra (unique health centre) has been established. No doctor was available for the residents of this village in 20 km area radius and no lady doctor was available in 40 km radius. A lady doctor is giving her services at this centre once a week and a doctor is giving his services thrice in a week. As a result of these efforts, immunisation, safe delivery and polio drop coverage has gone up in the village.
