Unfortunately, the health sector is continuing to be neglected by the authorities in developing countries like India, even though it is a crucial segment of Development. Improvement in the quality of life of the target group entails an improvement in their health status. Considering the unhealthy environment in which the people of slums and resettlement colonies live and their high susceptibility to a large number of common and epidemic diseases, health aspects have always been part of the Wishes foundation’s development program.
