Description

The community healthcare project is a holistic program that works with marginalised women to provide culturally appropriate health education. This program provides cultural mediation between these women and local health and human services through the provision of health workshops and medical recording for the community. ?The aim of the Health and Community Care Project has been conceived to provide supplementary and complementary healthcare services in rural India, to support the services which are currently insufficient. We plan to develop community and individual health care education, medical care, wellness and fitness support and community care resources for women. ?The research stage of this project currently includes identifying the needs of community members, and delineating medical rights and incentives provided legally to marginalised women by the Indian government. This program seeks to build a working, sustainable and non-dependent relationship between the migrant women and the government hospital through hospital visits and assessing and analysing the system in relation to their needs.Future plans are for the establishment of a MAFAC (Mobile Ambulance and First Aid Clinic).
