OUR PROGRAMS

Health

The Hazrat Inayat Khan Health Centre sits in the heart of the Basti. The doctors see patients every day for a small token fee, and children in the education programs are treated free. Specialists visit on set days for eye care, dental, children’s health, elder care and homeopathy.

CLINIC

Good care, close to home

The Hazrat Inayat Khan Health Centre is also a government TB-DOTS center, working with the Nehru Nagar Chest Clinic. TB patients get their medicine and follow-ups, along with milk, eggs and rations to help them recover.

Rana

Rana came to the clinic after months of pain from a skin condition that nothing seemed to fix. Dr. Lipi found the cause, explained the treatment and saw her through every follow-up until she was fully well.

MOBILE MEDICAL UNITS

Healthcare that comes to the community

In the Trans-Yamuna neighbourhoods of Delhi, clinics are few and often far from home. The Hope Project’s Mobile Medical Unit brings care to families in Seelampur, Jafrabad, Shastri Park, Khajuri and Kisan Ghat, with a focus on women and young people enrolled in Hope’s programs in the area.

A general physician, pediatrician and gynecologist travel with the van on scheduled visits. They treat common illnesses, help patients manage conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, and provide free or subsidised medicine. Patients who need specialist care are referred to government hospitals. The team also runs regular health talks on nutrition, hygiene, maternal health and seasonal illness, along with diagnostic and cancer screening camps.

STORY

On the go

Khajoori is home to more than 200,000 people, most of whom earn a living through street vending, daily wage work and rickshaw pulling. The area has just two government dispensaries and one major hospital. When the van first arrived, many residents assumed it was a government service. After four years in one block, it expanded to a second this year and now sees 40 to 60 patients a week. Families from Sarita Vihar and Loni, across the border in Uttar Pradesh, have asked for visits too.

SOCIAL WORKERS

The community health workers

Our community health workers are often the first people a family talks to when something’s wrong. They run health talks in homes and community spaces, on everything from anemia and diabetes to pregnancy care and hygiene. They help families sign up for a Hope health card, and when someone needs hospital care, they make sure that person gets there.
