We believe in the comprehensive approach to help people regain
their health and dignity. Community Care Centre is giving care and support to
people infected and affected with HIV/AIDS. Here we provide palliative care,
Counselling, Medical management, Nursing care, personal care and Nutritional
support. At Present we have the facility to accommodate ten patients. We link
patients for ART and give TB medicine through RNTCP. We have adopted
children who are affected by HIV/AIDS and provide them hope in life. At present
we have 30 children. They are pursuing their education in nearby School. For
providing health care to the economically backward people living around Dayabhavan,
a Free health clinic was started at Dayabhavan premise. We have extended our
service to more than 1500 patients through this clinic. A new Laboratory is set up to diagnosis
Malaria, TB and other complications related to HIV. Dayabhavan has a Multi-Disciplinary team
dedicated to work in the field of HIV/AID
