CRS supports community health centres and projects across Kolkata. CRS provides the doctors’ salaries and medicines while the local partner organisation is responsible for providing premises for holding clinics and health training.
School Health Clinics: Supporting Healthy Learning
Monthly school health clinics are conducted at our education centres to promote children’s well-being and ensure regular school attendance. Qualified doctors visit each centre to carry out basic health check-ups, identify common illnesses, and provide timely care.Prescribed medications are provided free of cost, ensuring that every child receives essential treatment without financial burden. By addressing health concerns early, these clinics help prevent minor issues from becoming serious, allowing children to stay focused on their education and thrive in a healthier learning environment
Community Health Clinics
Our Community Health Clinics bring essential healthcare services directly to families in our project areas, making care both accessible and affordable. With regular visits from specialist doctors, community members benefit from expert consultations, early diagnosis, and timely treatment. Free health check-ups, along with necessary medications, ensure that even the most vulnerable individuals can access quality care without financial strain. For cases requiring advanced treatment, patients are guided and referred to appropriate hospitals, ensuring continuity of care beyond the clinic. Through these efforts, we aim to strengthen community health and ensure that no one is left without access to basic medical services.
Nutrition Support Programme for Children
Through our Nutrition Support Programme, children receive monthly nutrition packets containing essential food items to support their daily dietary needs.
This initiative not only contributes to their physical growth and development but also encourages regular school attendance. When children are well-nourished, they are more engaged, active, and better able to focus on their studies.
By addressing both nutrition and education together, we strive to create an environment where every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed.
CRS often organises blood donation drives in association with local organisations.
Health Awareness for a Stronger Community
Regular health awareness sessions are conducted for community members to promote better understanding of common health issues. These sessions focus on topics such as hygiene, nutrition, prevention of diseases, maternal and child health.
Community Health Camps
Health camps are regularly organized across our project locations to ensure that the communities we serve have access to essential healthcare services. These camps focus on preventive care and early detection, with specialized services such as eye check-ups and blood sugar screenings conducted by qualified medical professionals.
The CRS health programme has made a tremendous difference in countless lives by diagnosing and treating illness, alleviating pain and reducing the incidence of disease. Your support can help many more people to improve their health and wellbeing.
