Health care and health education

Public healthcare in rural Bangladesh is severely hampered by the critical shortage of trained doctors, inadequate facilities, and high out-of-pocket costs, compelling many villagers to rely on unqualified informal health care providers. This combination of limited access and poor quality leads to delayed or forgone treatment and poorer health outcomes for the majority of the population.Hope Arises Schools organizes twice a year Community Health Care days for the students, their siblings and their mothers. Medical doctors examine the participants, provide health education and as needed over the counter medication.

A specific health education is also provided for pregnant women and breast feeding mothers.
