HEALTH
The health intervention programs supported by Concern India Foundation are well-aligned with the objectives of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3 and 6, which aim to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all. This includes maternal and child health, access to clean water and sanitation, and strengthening of primary healthcare infrastructure.
Well-being of all ages and genders are addressed through community-based interventions, basic hygiene, prevention of malnutrition, access to therapy for children with disabilities and strengthening health infrastructure in primary centres. These programs directly address the underlying causes of poverty, malnutrition and poor sanitation, which are major contributors to women, child, and adolescent mortality.
Moreover, Concern's health programs have also adapted to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and continue to provide quality healthcare services through infrastructure strengthening and creating linkages to ensure accessibility to healthcare systems.
We are aligned to CSR policies of Schedule VII for promoting health care including preventive, sanitation and making available safe drinking water, Reducing and preventing malnutrition & responding to the pandemic.

DUMMY TEXT: Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
