COMMUNITY BASED HEALTH CENTRE
Sukarya, ran a health center in Bandhwari Village, Gurgaon District from January 2007-
September 2010. This was run in partnership with the Bandhwari community with support
of Charities Aid Foundation India CAF and Incentive Destinations.
The goal of the Bandhwari health centre was to increase awareness and improve the
overall health status of the Bandhwari gram panchayat. In the centre an M.B.B.S doctor
renders medical services to the people of the community five days a week. In order to
strengthen community participation, four community health workers have been selected
and trained from the village. These health workers act as a conduit between the center and
the needy families. They not only bring in those requiring medical help to the health centre
but also follow-up with the patients during the course of their treatment. To specifically
address the issues of woman’s health, visits of female specialist doctor are scheduled twice
in a month. Apart from this curative and partly preventive aspect that focuses on timely
identification and treatment of health problems; the program also focuses on developing
health seeking behaviour through information and education activities.
In order to develop the community stake and participation and also to make the program
self sustaining, a small user friendly fees of Rs.10/- is levied from the patients for the
consultation. The fund generated as such is being used to cover partly the cost of running
the centre.

Men As Partners in Improving the Health Status of
Rural communities
In June, 2008, with the support of Bird Group through the Corporate
Challenge of the Delhi Half Marathon, the implementation of the project
focusing on developing male partnership and participation in improving the
overall health status of rural communities began in Mewat district of
Haryana. The objectives of the project were to work towards improvement
of mother and child health and reduction in maternal and child mortality
among the project population. To promote good health practices, health
seeking behaviour through health education, increase access to quality
health services by strengthening the coordination with government
department to ensure active participation of male members.
The main objective of the project is to provide health facilities to the vulnerable population of the
area and to create awareness about healthy practices.
The project involves conducting health Camps on a regular basis through which basic health care
services are provided to the community. The health camp also involves conducting awareness
sessions on better hygiene and ways to combat health hazards emanating from poor hygienic
conditions and lack of safe drinking water.
The homes of majority of the population in the area comprises of a hutment or jhuggi. A
substantial population in the area is that of rag pickers, who collect rags, scrap and recyclable
waste from garbage dumps from around the city and bring it into the area. The area therefore
looked like a garbage ground full of insects and mosquitoes, which posed a serious health hazard
to the residents. A cleanliness drive was therefore conducted by mobilizing the youth of the
community who sanitized their locality by spraying DDT provided by Sukarya.
Sukarya has joined hands with the government in implementing the polio eradication program in
the community. The intervention involves creating awareness and mobilizing community during
the immunization drives and visiting door-to-door immunizing children of 0-5 years by
community health workers.
