Health, Hygiene and sanitation

Women are informed on health & hygiene issues, reproductive health, govt schemes like Janni Suraksha Yojna, old age pension, widow pension, supplementary nutrition to pregnant women and lactating mother.
Tribal community in the region lacks basic medical facilities. Few doctors are available at the primary health centers and thus, timely medical help is difficult to obtain. RBKS has been trying to address health issues with a focus towards “improvement of health on a long term basis”. The major emphasis of the program is on “Preventive Health”. The health program also includes involvement in activities like Pulse Polio Camp, Health Check-up Camps for Women and provision of nutritional food for students in the child leaning center, child labour schools and crèches. Interactive awareness meetings are organized in different project villages on the issue of reviving traditional health care system. Thus people have poor access to health facilities located in distant centers. RBKS address the issues relating to Lack of knowledge and awareness, Prevention is better than cure and improved access to basic health-care facilities.
It is observed that in tribal remote villages, where health facilities are located at long distances and transport facilities are poor, any minor ignorance/delay causes fatal situations. There are many diseases, which if given attentions and timely action taken, losses can be controlled. Therefore one of the key focuses of RBKS activity is awareness generation, skill building, and local treatment of deadly diseases. Some of the initiatives are: Safe Motherhood Program, Immunization Campaign, training to local birth attended, Training on RCH, BCC, awareness building on family planning.
Immunization – It is well known that prevention is always better than cure and being an active agency in health sector RBKS adopts preventive measures for disease control, which included motivation for immunization against life risk diseases of the children and mother. Beside routine immunization, activities also focused to control prevailing anemia among women especially pregnant women and children. This is achieved through continued and regular contact drives.
Health Activities/Traditional Health-care System-By generating awareness and conducting health-care seminars and camps we are focusing on ‘Preventive Health’. RBKS has been trying to address the health problem with a focus on “Improving health on long term basis”. The health programs also includes involvement in activities like Pulse Polio Camp, Health Check-Ups Camps for women and Nutritional Food for students of Child Labour School & Crèches. Interactive awareness meetings were organized in different project villages on the issue of revival of Traditional Health Care System. Our health programmes involved activities like Pulse Polio Camp, Health Check-up Camps for Women, and Nutritional Food for students.
