What we do
Through education and literacy, HEAL is committed to reducing health disparities between rural and urban areas in an effort to bring us closer to a world with health equity. Whether it's workshops, webinars, screening camps, or programs, community outreach and collaboration is always the focus of our work. We strive to establish a culture of health and wellness: where prevention is prioritized and rural access to healthcare is augmented.
​
To delineate our initiatives, HEAL has launched five programs. Read below to find out more about these:
key programs
HEAL for NCD's
Health Education & Literacy for Non-Communicable Diseases
The manifestation of NCD's like heart disease, cancers, and diabetes can be ameliorated through early detection and proper education. In rural communities, HEAL organizes cancer screening camps, conducts educational workshops, and fosters a safe environment to discuss the serious ramifications of such diseases. Additionally, we organize teleOPDs (mobile clinics) in urban and rural slums by partnering with physicians and local hospitals.
