Health

Joygopalpurr Gram Vikash Kendra’s Social Health activities were initiated way back in 2006 with delivery of services for pregnant women with a cadre of 50 local health workers. Since then the activities now are focused on reduction of malnutrition among children in 22 villages spread across in 5 Gram Panchayet areas of Basanti Block. The community health workers are able to conduct both Ante Natal check-ups for pregnant women and perform growth monitoring & promotion for around 3000+ children of birth to three years. The program encompasses linking the beneficiaries with the government service providers and brings out possible solutions for improved coverage of the services by the target population.

The Arogya Sutra Rural Health Center houses a Pathological Laboratory, an OPD clinic, Pharmacy, ECG & X –Ray facility. All the services are rendered at a highly affordable price. The Pathological Tests and X- Ray are conducted by trained Technician with proper guidance from a Pathologist and a Radiologist. The OPD clinic is operated by two doctors.
