People’s Health

The People’s Health Project is a comprehensive initiative designed to address the full spectrum of health-related needs within the community. This project extends beyond medical treatment, incorporating a variety of activities aimed at promoting health and well-being, preventing disease, and enhancing the quality of life for patients and their families. Services offered by the People’s Health Project include medical treatment, medical guidance, palliative care, care for paraplegia patients, health classes, and implementing projects in association with hospitals. By tackling the diverse health needs of the community, the project aims to improve overall individual health and well-being, contributing to the development of a healthier, more resilient society.

Services Offered

People's Care

The inception of this project emerged as a natural extension of the Covid bed initiative, reflecting a compassionate response to the healthcare needs of indigent patients. By leveraging the infrastructure and resources established during the Covid bed project, this scheme aims to extend support to impoverished individuals seeking medical treatment at Omassery Shanti Hospital, Kozhikode and Perumbilavu Ansar Hospital, Thrissur. Through this endeavour, underprivileged patients will receive vital medical care and attention, ensuring that they have access to essential healthcare services without facing financial barriers. This initiative underscores a commitment to inclusivity and social welfare, embodying the spirit of community solidarity and humanitarianism in healthcare provision.

Medical Guidance

People's Health & Information System gives details on various hospitals and therapies that patients may need. We arrange affordable medical treatment through our net-work of medical professionals and institutions. We assist people in gaining access to government programmes and connect them with specialists. The Ethical Medical Forum (EMF), a group of specialist doctors, is working on the project's implementation.

Paraplegia & Palliative Initiative

Paraplegia initiative is being carried out to benefit paraplegic patients bedridden due to spinal cord damage. The project's primary goals include job training, nutrition, medical care, and education. Palliative initiative aims to unify the palliative units in Kerala under on system and stream line operations through various programmes, including medical support, technical support, job training, health counselling, etc.

Health Awareness Programmes

They are designed to increase awareness and reduce stigma surrounding mental health issues while providing individuals with the tools and resources to manage their mental well-being effectively. Through workshops, seminars, and outreach activities, these programmes empower participants to recognize symptoms, seek help when needed, and develop coping strategies for stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. By fostering resilience and promoting positive mental health practices, these initiatives contribute to overall community well-being.
