PRIMARY HEALTH CARE CENTER FORMALLY LAUNCHED IN PAHADI SHERIF ON MARCH 1, 2023

In view of the rising trend of black marketing of primary health care services in areas that lack public health facilities, LEAN Foundation USA and Helping Hand Foundation(HHF), Hyderabad have collaborated to set up its first Primary Health Care Center in Pahadi Sherif, Hyderabad. A recent survey done by HHF revealed that non-healthcare professionals and RMPs dominate the health domain in these underserved areas and have cultivated a culture convincing the masses that common and seasonal diseases require IV treatment and/or injections. Each such treatment costs Rs. 700-800 and is priced x5 times the MRP. This translates into higher out of pocket expenses for many who are mostly daily wage earners who end up borrowing money for the treatment. This new center set by LEAN is aimed to bridge the gap and provide a wide range of health services which will include OP Consultation, Ante Natal, Ophthalmology, Dental and NCD care with good quality of medicines and professional health care providers all free of cost.

MOBILE HEALTH CLINICS LAUNCHED TO SERVICE RURAL AND HIGHLY VULNERABLE AREAS

EDUCATION SPONSORSHIPS FOR POOR ORPHANS AND CHILDREN OF FINANCIALLY WEAK PARENTS

LEAN FOUNDATION USA provides educational sponsorships to underprivileged and poor students in KG-12 grade. These sponsorships are renewable until the student graduates from grade 12 if the student meets the qualifying criteria.

Vocational Training Certification courses are typically 6 months to a year in duration and are offered to school or college dropouts who need to acquire skills that can help them earn a living.
