Health & Hygiene

Good health is the key to a prosperous life. After Covid19 pandemic, we all understand how essential it is to be healthy and have a strong immune system. To achieve good health, we need to focus on multiple aspects, among which hygiene is a prerequisite.

People from affluent societies can achieve it due to easy access to healthcare facilities; however, people from underserved communities are deprived of even the basic facilities. In this regard, SIF has undertaken various health and hygiene program and projects focusing on making basic healthcare facilities easily accessible to all. Some of our programs are:

ESI HEALTH PROJECT

SIF in collaboration with Employees State Insurance Hospitals (ESI), Government of erstwhile Andhra Pradesh, provided health care services to thousands of workers working in various industries and factories in Hyderabad. Our staff organized meetings in hundreds of factories and industries to sensitize the workers on occupational health hazards and the need to take safety precautions to avoid accidents. SIF established Health Help Line centre for workers and assisted their families in availing ESI services.

BLOOD DONATION CAMPS

Poor patients who lack money to buy blood should have access to blood in times of health emergencies. We at SIF encourage individuals to donate blood voluntarily with an objective of saving the lives of poor people. We have formed several partnerships with various hospitals and conducted blood donation camps.

COVID-HEALTH CARE

As part of the project ‘Effectiveness of 3 layer cloth washable masks’ we have distributed around 30000 masks in 8 villages of Rangareddy District which include Sheriguda, Uppariguda, Pocharam, Lingampally, Mankhal, Thummaloor, Mansanpally, Sardar nagar.
