Remote and underserved communities in Nepal, Bangladesh and India often face critical challenges in accessing even the most basic healthcare. In these regions, Asian Aid is playing a vital role—bridging gaps left by underfunded systems and reaching people who might otherwise go without care.

Here are the Top 10 things Asian Aid is doing to make a difference:

✅ 1. Provide Mobile Medical Clinics

Asian Aid organises mobile outreach programs that bring doctors, nurses, and medications to villages that lack clinics or hospitals.

✅ 2. Fight Preventable Diseases

We run mass awareness drives and sessions to protect children and adults from preventable diseases like measles, polio, and hepatitis, often in partnership with local health authorities.

✅ 3. Train Community Health Workers

We empower local residents (especially women) with basic health training so they can serve as trusted caregivers and first responders in their own villages.

✅ 4. Improve Maternal and Child Health

We provide prenatal checkups, safe birth kits, nutrition support, and postnatal care, reducing maternal and infant mortality rates in areas with no OB/GYNs.

✅ 5. Run Health Education Programs

Using local languages and culturally sensitive methods, we teach basic hygiene, disease prevention, nutrition, and sexual health in schools and communities, helping families make informed choices.

✅ 6. Provide Much-needed Health Checks

We provide dental, eye, and general health checks in schools and communities as well as distribute life-saving medications, medical supplies, and emergency kits where pharmacies are rare or too expensive for local families.

✅ 7. Fight Malnutrition

We provide school lunches for children each day, distribute food and fruit tress, and teach families how to grow or prepare balanced meals.

✅ 8. Promote Clean Water and Sanitation (WASH)

We install safe water sources, toilets, and handwashing stations, and train communities in sanitation practices to prevent disease outbreaks.

✅ 9. Address Mental Health and Trauma

We are now providing mental health care and trauma care.

✅ 10. Advocate for Health Rights and Policy Change

Beyond direct service, we work to influence local and national governments, pushing for health equity, funding, and policy reforms that prioritise the underserved.
