Public Health Education
Preventive health services education programs are designed to enhance the patient's self-awareness and responsibility toward developing and maintaining healthier lifestyles. These programs provide education to help patients understand the role they play in their health and wellness.
“Education is a social process…Education is growth…Education is, not a preparation for life; education is life itself.”
– John Dewey

Data Informatics System
Each medical brigade station has laptops where patient information is entered and routed via a local server to the next station. Records are ultimately stored for follow up and to track patient history and studied to discover health trends in the villages we serve
