Healthcare

Primary Healthcare is a significant program of HDF. Our Community Health Centres (CHCs) provide basic health facilities to marginalized communities and raise awareness about personal hygiene, communicable and non-communicable diseases while maintaining accessible, affordable and integrated health services.

A team of trained professionals comprising of a doctor, Lady Health Visitors (LHVs), Medical Dispenser and Community Health Workers (CHWs) raise awareness with their door-to-door services on health issues such as, family planning, immunization, antenatal and postnatal services to women in all regions. The CHCs are equipped to carry out basic lab testing. For remote communities, medical camps and mobile health services are set up as needed.
