Our work in health
Health is a key focus in humanitarian and development aid. It focuses on providing essential medical care and support to people affected by crises, such as conflicts, natural disasters, or displacement. It addresses immediate needs, like injuries and disease outbreaks, and long-term health challenges, like malnutrition and mental health.

Health is not just about treatment—it’s the foundation for survival, recovery, and rebuilding lives after crises.

Protects vulnerable groups
Supports those most at risk, like children, women, and displaced populations.
Prevents wider crises
Controls outbreaks and mitigates long-term health impacts.
Builds resilience
Strengthens local health systems to better withstand future challenges.
“I saw a health camp being set up in the neighbourhood, and when I asked about it, I learned it was there to provide healthcare services and help us get the COVID-19 vaccine. I felt so relieved knowing I wouldn’t have to travel far to get vaccinated.”
Ram Pari Devi, Resident of the Ladaho Gram Panchayat, Darbhanga district, Bihar, India
