HEALTH

Overview

Biocon Foundation aims to provide essential primary healthcare services to individuals and families in target communities by means acceptable to them through their full participation and at costs that they can afford.

We endeavour to address the main community health problems through provision of preventive, promotive, curative and rehabilitative services. They include promotion of proper nutrition, maternal and childcare, family planning, immunisation against major infectious diseases, prevention and control of locally endemic diseases, health education and appropriate treatment.

In order to make our services universally accessible in the community, we invite community participation in the planning, organization and management of the primary healthcare centres. This participation is best mobilised through appropriate education which enables communities to deal with real health problems, thereby allowing them to make rational decisions concerning primary healthcare.
