Improving the health of street children and families living in the slums of Kolkata is one of The Hope Foundation’s priorities, and is key in the fight against poverty. Healthy children, who become healthy adults, create better lives for themselves and their families.
Through our healthcare program, we have made significant progress in immunization, water sanitation and ante-natal care, saving the lives of thousands of infants and their mothers. We also provide emergency care and surgeries in our HOPE Hospital.
Our aim at HOPE is to provide ancillary services to strengthen the existing health services that are provided by the Government of West Bengal. Over the past decade we’ve developed strong partnerships with local non-governmental organizations, and work together delivering services in 34 communities.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”37997″ img_size=”600 X 340″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_border” onclick=”link_image”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row margin_top=”5px”][vc_column][dt_fancy_title title=”Primary Health Programme” title_align=”left” title_size=”h3″ title_color=”accent”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row margin_top=”40px”][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1446205837134{padding-right: 65px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”37999″ img_size=”600 X 370″ style=”vc_box_shadow_border” onclick=”link_image”][vc_empty_space height=”26px”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1467225381545{padding-top: 5px !important;padding-right: 8px !important;padding-bottom: 5px !important;padding-left: 8px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][dt_fancy_title title=”HOPE’S HEALTH PROGRAM” title_align=”left” title_size=”h3″ title_color=”accent”][vc_empty_space height=”26px”][dt_vc_list style=”2″ bullet_position=”middle” dividers=”false”]
