Health centres and clinics

The lack of hygiene is the cause for many diseases in India’s slums. People living in rural areas are often too poor to look after their health. wortundtat has set up various health centres, which provide medical aid free of charge.

A glimmer of hope for slum residents

wortundtat runs a complete hospital in Vishakapatnam. For thousand of slum residents and other needy people this hospital has become something they are pinning their hopes on. They would not be able to pay for an operation in a state-owned hospital; apart from that these clinics are often overcrowded. wortundtat has now built a new hospital with 120 beds. The hospital also integrates a nursery college. That way health care in the slums is improved significantly and young people get the chance of a good vocational education.
