“Communities and countries and ultimately the world are only as strong as the health of their women.” –Michelle Obama, former first lady of the United States 

Across all rural communities in India, access to high-quality health care is a significant challenge — especially for women. To ensure the health of the women we provide medical treatment for menstrual and reproductive health problems as well as regular eyetesting.

For Bhikamkor, which is a too far drive from Jodhpur, a female doctor wil visit the center to examn and treat the women. For Kaliberi, the women go and see a female doctor for their annual check-ups. All visits and test fees are subsidized by IPHD to keep health services accessible and affordable for patients.

IPHD fights menstrual taboo and distributes reusable sanitary pads to adolescent girls and women in need.

Yearly the women will have their eyes tested, as they spend hours and hours focusing on small details. For Bhikamkor the optician will take al his equipment to the village and conducts the eyetest at the centre. In Kaliberi the ladies will visit the optician. Who is in need of glasses will receive these free of costs, from IPHD. The women who are concerned about their childrens eyes, are welcome to bring them along for the check-up.
