Through our independent clinic and outpatient department (OPD) managed in collaboration with Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) and National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme (NTEP) we provide medical and psychosocial care to people living with drug-resistant tuberculosis (DRTB). Most of our patients come from Mumbai - a city of 22 million people, 43,464 of whom have TB, and 10 per cent whom are infected with drug-resistant strains of the disease. We also offer screening, diagnosis and specialised care for TB, HIV and hepatitis C in four clinics in the north-eastern state of Manipur. In addition, we provide care for people with advanced HIV in Bihar, one of the most populous states in India.

In the capital, Delhi, we provide medical and psychological care to survivors of domestic and sexual violence, and raise awareness about the importance of seeking timely medical and psychological care. We work with community-based organisations, police, government protection agencies and the health ministry to highlight the clinic’s services and create an efficient referral system. We also engage the community in discussions on domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse.

Since 2001 we have been offering counselling in Jammu and Kashmir, where years of conflict have taken a toll on people’s mental health. Our work includes raising awareness of the support available, reducing the stigma associated with mental health, and emphasising the importance of seeking assistance.

In remote villages in Chhattisgargh, our teams conduct mobile clinics to take primary healthcare to areas where it is extremely difficult for people to access medical care. Our teams provide free treatment for malaria, respiratory infections, pneumonia and skin diseases among others.
