HEALTH CAMPS

Even after decades of freedom, India is still struggling to provide basic health services to its people. According to government sources, in India 45 children die every hour due to respiratory infections, 1 child die every 2 minutes due to diarrhea and annually about 2 million children under the age of 5 years die due to preventable diseases. The situation calls for timely care and diagnosis which can reduce the incidence of morbidity and mortality especially among children and women. Thus, EFRAH organizes one day camp in different parts of the Delhi on the basis of health needs of a specific location. These health camps aim at promoting health seeking behavior in the long term and thus unlike a general curative health camp, these camps also majorly work on building awareness regarding common ailments, family planning methods, nutrition, hygiene and sanitation. These camps provide comprehensive health services free of any cost. These health camps are organized with support from corporate, government and individual volunteers. EFRAH has directly benefitted more than 10000 people living in slums and underprivileged community.
