Health

The tribal community in the region lacks basic medical facilities. Also very 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 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 issue of

• Lack of Awareness and knowledge
• Preventive measures
• Improved access to health facilities

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 etc of deadly diseases. Some of the initiatives are; Immunization Campaign; training to local birth attended, Training on RCH, BCC , awareness building on Family., Planning, training of ASHA members training under NRHM of central government.
