Bringing Healthcare to the Doorsteps Sunderbans
Access to healthcare is a distant dream for the marginalized communities of areas in the Sunderbans. Geographical isolation, lack of infrastructure, and financial constraints make quality medical care elusive for many. Recognizing this critical need, the Biswangan Foundation has launched a comprehensive healthcare initiative to provide essential medical services and promote health awareness among the local population.
Our initiative focuses on:
- Organizing periodic health camps to check the vitals of marginalized residents.
- Conducting regular health check-ups for students of Biswangan Shiksha Niketan.
- Spreading awareness about preventive healthcare and healthy living practices.
- Establishing health centres conducted by registered doctors virtually and assisted by paramedics
- Providing free medicines and directing patients to local healthcare facilities for further treatment.
