Health & Wellness

Health Initiatives

Our Clinics provide treatments both in Ayurveda & Allopathy. Majority of the tribals prefer home medicines. We have initiated Health camps in many villages and also provided free medicines. The tribals have now started visiting our clinics in small numbers.

Villagers suffer from different ailments, animal bites and are prone to alcohol. There are no proper medical facilities in the villages and they had to travel 40 kms crossing the forest for their treatments.

GF Provides affordable solutions for quality health by preventive and curative healthcare services with a team of medical experts in Allopathy & Ayurveda doctors along with two therapists. Comprehensive health programs are conducted to ensure good health for the villagers at a very low cost with basic infrastructure and has extended access to facilities :

Health Clinics

Gramothan Foundation conducts regular health check-ups in the villages in order to ensure that every villager has access to good health. This includes, school and anganwadi check-ups, Antenatal Care (ANC) and Postnatal care (PNC) for pregnant women, balopachara etc. Apart from these we also make people aware of various home remedies to cure small ailments.

Ayurveda and Allopathy

Gramothan Foundation conducts wellness programmes and yoga classes every fortnight in the adopted villages to educate and assist ladies and children to lead a healthy life ; and treatment is provided. While the tribal people historically have a preference for home remedies, they have now started visiting Gramothan Foundation clinics.

Eye and Dental checkup

Once each year, Gramothan Foundation arranges eye and dental camps. Free spectacles are given, where required.. Based on reports, patients who need further treatment are referred to hospitals in Mysore or HD Kote. The Foundation also supports people who need eye surgery or other optical treatments.

Care for People with Physical Disability and Mental Illness

Gramothan Foundation supports people with physical disabilities to start small businesses. In association with the Forest Department, the Foundation provided physically challenged people with equipment like walkers, shoes, wheelchairs, etc. Most people with mental health issues in the DB Kote Grama Panchayat area end up being neglected by their families. Gramothan Foundation supports the treatment of such people at Chittadama Hospital in HD Kote and there has been considerable progress in the health of the patients.

Take Care of Physically Disabled People

We offer support for initiating small businesses for handicapped and physically challenged people. GF in association with the Forest dept. provided physically challenged equipment like walkers, shoes, wheelchairs etc.

Activities done in the year 2024-25

D.B. Kuppe Village Panchayath, located in H.D. Kote Taluk, Mysore District, lies at the border of Karnataka near the Nagarahole Forest. With Kerala just 5 km away and the nearest city 40 km away, this area faces significant challenges in accessing essential facilities. To address these needs, our organization, GramothonFoundation, was established.

This area lies along the forest border and lacks a well-equipped hospital nearby, requiring people to travel 50 km for medical treatment, which is challenging. Therefore, our organization aims to improve health conditions in this region by raising health awareness and providing free treatment to the local population.
