areas situated next to Asia’s biggest dumping
ground at Deonar. Niramaya runs two health clinics
in the area since last four years to provide
quality healthcare affordable to the people
residing in the area. The clientele at the clinic
include slum dwellers, rag pickers and the migrant
workers in the slums. In addition to family health
care clinic, and realizing the increasing health
needs of the community, Niramaya plans to start a
multi-specialty clinic with facilities for lab
testing under one roof at very nominal rates.
Various special camps like eye camps are regularly
organized. A lot of health awareness is done by
conducting rallies , street plays, distributing
fliers etc.
Rag pickers at the Dumping ground are treated
specially by conducting weekly camps at their
workplace that is dumping ground in Niramaya’s
mobile clinic and giving them health education as
well.
Keeping in mind the vulnerability of migrant
workers to the sexually transmitted diseases
including AIDS, Niramaya runs special OPDs for
them twice in a week.
Niramaya reaches the below two years children,
lactating mothers and pregnant women through door
to door visits. The mothers are persuaded to avail
the health care available at the clinic regarding
ante and post natal care. They are given health
education about immunization. Growth charts are
maintained for the children under two years. |
