HEALTH
As rightly said by the Buddha ‘the secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly’. Also the Goal No. 3 of United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs) that aspires to ensure health and well-being for all. It also aims to achieve universal health coverage, and to provide access to safe and effective medicines and vaccines for all.
It is quite evident from the guidelines that we have to achieve Universal health at Global level. For that matter, a collaborative effort from people of different geography is the only way forward to achieve the aim.
Sewa International health initiatives ensure accessibility of healthcare services to unreached, free medicines, medical consultancy & medical diagnosis for the needy and poor. We also believe in self-sustenance and hence promote the idea of self training. We conduct various trainings for villagers and work hand in hand with government health departments to compliment their efforts. Our initiative to provide medical kits, menstruation training for girls and spreading awareness in collaboration with ANM, ASHA and Anganwadi workers is helping us manifold in attaining our health indicators. We conduct free health medical check-up camps at various locations across India and our Mobile medical vehicles are well equipped to provide medial consultancy, free medicines and diagnosis

Some of Our Major Interventions in Health Domain
Medical Camps - Periodic free medical camps in the rural/tribal region to provide locals with free medicines and consultation from experienced doctors. Every year free medicals camps are being organised in Uttarakhand, Kutch, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and North East region. We are also fortunate to conduct medical camps and serve pilgrims at Khumb in 2019.
Health, hygiene and WASH Awareness/Training - Our initiative of Kishori Samuh (girls adolescent groups) to educate young girls about menstrual hygiene, health and sanitation is successful at various locations India. Various awareness initiatives in association with ANM, ASHA and Anganwadi workers about preventive health care including family planning, pre/post natal health, communicable and other regional diseases.
- Medical kit distribution - Free medical kit distribution and basic training on how and when to utilise them. Distribution of sanitation & toilet kit to kids at our project locations with basic necessities like comb, toothbrush, paste, nail-cutter etc, to promote good hygiene among the kids.
Mobile Medical Vehicles – Sole purpose of the mobile medical vehicle is to ensure accessibility of healthcare services to the unreached poor and needy people living in far places away from civil medical centres. Our vehicles in Uttarakhand, Kerala and Tamil Nadu provide free medicines, medical consultancy, diagnosis, referral to established government health centres. And of course, to spread awareness among locals on preventive measures and general hygiene.
- Medical services during Disaster – Our dedicated pool of medical volunteers and paramedics always come forward at the time when the nation calls them for their duty; during disaster. Youth learning short term courses in healthcare like general duty assistant and health home aide at our Pradan Mantri Kaushal Kendras come handy during emergency situations. As a part of relief, we setup medical camps to treat patients. Counselling centres as rehabilitation like in case of kerala floods. Online webinar on how to stay healthy during COVID-19 situation amid lock-down period.
