Health Water & Sanitation

01. Why the Program is ?

● Inadequate rural health facilities in West Bengal require enhancement due to frequent disruptions by calamities and diseases.
● The high frequency of natural disasters in the Sundarbans necessitates quick medical response mechanisms like medical camps.
● Socioeconomic factors, lack of education, poor housing, sanitation and unsafe water supplies lead to malnutrition and diseases among inhabitants of the Sundarbans. These conditions warrant a dedicated health and hygiene education initiative, particularly targeting women and children.
● Inaccessibility of ambulance services in rural and backward areas of West Bengal often resulting in critical health risks.
● The high salinity levels in drinking water make it unsuitable for consumption, leading to health problems for the local population.
