About Health Programs

Seva Mandir’s health program works to bring a change in health practices and care seeking behavior through education, awareness and the experience of quality services. Much of the work in the health sector focuses on childbirth and the early development of the villages’ newest members. Seva Mandir has trained and supports a force of over 400 community health workers who help close gaps in healthcare provision for over 8,000 women and children annually across more than 150 villages. The organization has also partnered with government, researchers, donors and other players to find solutions to some of the entrenched problems such as lack of obstetric care, undernutrition, anemia and lack of complete immunization of children.

“Seva Mandir’s immunisation program is one of the most impressive we have ever evaluated, and probably the one that has saved most lives.”
