We aim for there to be basic health education, a prevention programme, and appropriate high quality local healthcare .
As a pilot project, we have previously delivered a personal health education programme to c. 3000 children in ten schools in Amber.
We are now planning for a major thrust in 2004/5. Our preparatory work will include; a community survey of health needs; an appraisal of the quality of existing healthcare provision; and a co-ordinated series of health "camps" built around common concerns.
Our first camp in June 2003
was a free cervical cancer screening and treatment camp (in collaboration
with the Mahavir Cancer Hospital of Jaipur and the UN International Agency
for Cancer Research, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation).
