Fund healthcare for people in need

MAHAN is providing medical services to the tribal area of Melghat known for very high malnutrition, child mortality and maternal mortality. Most of the villages in Melghat are remote and inaccessible.

So, lack of ambulance becomes a major issue while providing health care services and saving lives. Ambulance acts as 'Sanjivani' while working in such conditions. Ours is the only hospital for treatment of critical patients.

So; in the absence of emergency medical equipment in our hospital, serious patients require shifting to critical care hospital at least 100 km from our hospital which is very difficult & mostly impossible for poor tribal.

MAHAN Trust is providing medical facilities to the tribal population of Melghat. MAHAN’s hospital provides treatment to serious patients, critically ill children, malnourished children; conducts plastic surgery camp, Cataract surgeries, treatment of refractive error, etc.

MAHAN also provides community based treatment for childhood illnesses, antenatal care, management of childhood malnutrition, etc. MAHAN provides referral facilities for high risk pregnant women and critically ill patients.

MAHAN’s counsellor program is strengthening government hospitals. MAHAN works for community development by mobilising community for utilisation of government schemes, de-addiction and provide a sustainable source of nutrition. MAHAN also works in policy advocacy.

MAHAN has built a critical patient and eye hospital, saved more than 1200 serious patients, provided vision to 10000+ poor people and changed lives of 565+ disabled patients by plastic surgeries.

Trust was able to decrease the number deaths of children under 5 years of age and severe malnutrition children by more than 64% and 67%; respectively, deaths in age group of 16-60 years by more than 50% and maternal mortality by more than 75% in 14 villages of Melghat.

Our successful programs & recommendations have been adopted by the Government for all tribal areas of Maharashtra thus benefiting lacs of tribal. Successful de-addiction of hundreds of people and 3 villages have improved family lives of plenty of people.
