Project Aushad
Homes that care for seniors are provided with assistance: free monthly medication, basic healthcare equipment, and nutritious dry rations
Project Aushad enables the elderly to live with dignity. In tandem with their doctors, we assess the needs of every resident in the senior care homes we adopt. A patient ID is assigned, and monthly prescription medicines are provided based on the lists from each home. In times of crisis, such as during the lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic, monthly ration kits have also been offered. Through Project Aushad, we hope to address the physical, mental and emotional wellbeing of the senior population across India.
Project Prashikshan
Institutes that serve the public are offered courses around basic life support (BLS) for their members to be better first responders
Project Prashikshan supports those in public and social service. We provide basic life support (BLS) courses, both online and offline. These are designed for participants to recognize life-threatening emergencies in a safe, timely, and effective manner. The course imparts cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training and first aid skills. Participants in the police force, NCC cadets, students from Bharat Scouts and Guides, and others responsible for society’s safety, take part. A certificate of participation is provided once participants pass the assessment.
Project Suraksha
Organizations that work towards humanitarian causes are offered periodic free health camps to assess and review residents' health. Project Suraksha provides essential medical relief, in times of natural disaster, emergency situations, and through the course of regular life, to hospitals and healthcare workers.
Health camps and health awareness workshops: We screen, diagnose, and organize conversations around non-communicable diseases, especially those related to lifestyle. Emergency relief: We send out ambulances and emergency medication during natural disasters, across the country. Temporary medical centres are also established.
Community daycare centres: We offer nutritious food, medical treatment, and prescription medicines to people in mofussil areas, to ensure a better quality of life. Emergency care centres: We set up centres at places of public importance and high traffic, to provide immediate critical care, so people can access life-saving medical care.
Health camps
Under Project Suraksha, BHB organizes camps in 2 formats (pop-up and long-term) for...
a) those who are particularly marginalized and do not have access to basic healthcare, like the most recent one we did with the trans community in Chennai, with the promise of free medicines and regular health camps
b) those who come to places of high traffic (such as religious places) and need medical help, especially since they travel long distances on their pilgrimage.
