Public health is a powerful tool to level that playing field, to bend the arc of our country away from distrust and disparities and back towards equity and justice.”Leana S. Wen
In villages across rural India, people continue to face significant challenges due to the lack of quality healthcare infrastructure, limited qualified medical professionals, lack of medical facilities and insufficient availability of basic medicines. These conditions profoundly impact their health, well-being, and overall development.
Several government initiatives and schemes have been launched to promote better health, but sadly sometimes these facilities are not easily accessible in the remote terrains of the Himalayan region. We through our various initiatives, would like to address the many challenges being faced and improve the lives of the people in the region by providing access to essential healthcare services that are often out of reach for them.
Good health is the foundation of a thriving, progressive society and HVT in cooperation with likeminded organisations, is committed to work with and for communities to foster healthy lifestyles and improve access to good health in Himalayan region by way of the following programs.
By adopting a collaborative approach, HVT is sensitizing community members to adopt healthy practices and support them with the needed healthcare facilities and services.
HVT Medical Support Program is a comprehensive initiative aimed at improving healthcare access and promoting wellness in Himalayan communities. Through a range of services including health camps, counselling sessions with students, dental camps, and eye camps, we are committed to providing essential medical care and support to those in need.
Health Camps: Our health camps bring vital medical services directly to rural communities, offering screenings, consultations, and treatment for a wide range of health concerns. From basic check-ups to specialized care, our team of healthcare professionals works tirelessly to ensure that individuals receive the care they need to live healthy and fulfilling lives.
Counselling Sessions with Students: Mental health is just as important as physical health, which is why we offer counselling sessions with students to address emotional well-being and psychological support. Our trained counsellors provide a safe and nurturing environment for students to express themselves, cope with challenges, and develop healthy coping strategies for navigating life’s ups and downs.
Dental Camps: Good oral health is essential for overall well-being, yet many rural communities lack access to dental care. Our dental camps aim to bridge this gap by providing preventive dental services, treatments, and education on oral hygiene practices. By promoting dental health awareness and providing necessary treatments, we help individuals maintain healthy smiles and prevent dental issues from escalating.
Eye Camps: Vision is a precious gift, but for many, access to eye care is limited. Our eye camps aim to address this need by providing vision screenings, eye examinations, and distributing eyeglasses to those in need. Through early detection and intervention, we strive to prevent vision loss and improve the quality of life for individuals in Himalayan communities.
Empowering Communities: Our Medical Support Program goes beyond providing medical services—it is about empowering communities to take charge of their health and well-being. Through education, outreach, and empowerment initiatives, we strive to create sustainable solutions that promote long-term health and resilience within communities.
HVT Holistic Wellness Initiatives are dedicated to promoting health and well-being through the practice of yoga in Himalayan homestays and schools. Our initiatives offer guests and students a unique opportunity to experience the transformative benefits of yoga in serene and tranquil settings, fostering physical, mental, and spiritual rejuvenation.
Yoga in Homestays: Immerse yourself in the ancient practice of yoga amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayas. Our yoga sessions in homestays provide guests with a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life, allowing them to reconnect with themselves and nature. Led by experienced instructors, our yoga sessions cater to practitioners of all levels, from beginners to advanced yogis, offering a blend of asanas, pranayama, and meditation techniques to promote holistic wellness.
Yoga in Schools: Education is not just about academics—it’s about nurturing the whole child, including their physical and mental well-being. That’s why we offer yoga programs in schools, providing students with valuable tools for stress management, concentration, and emotional resilience. Through regular yoga sessions, students learn mindfulness practices that help them navigate the challenges of school and life with greater ease and balance.
Promoting Holistic Wellness: Yoga is more than just a physical practice—it is a holistic system that integrates body, mind, and spirit. Our wellness initiatives promote holistic wellness by offering yoga practices that not only strengthen the body but also calm the mind and uplift the spirit. Whether you’re looking to improve flexibility, reduce stress, or cultivate inner peace, our yoga programs offer something for everyone.
Connecting with Nature: The Himalayas are not just a backdrop for our yoga sessions—they are an integral part of the experience. Surrounded by majestic mountains, lush forests, and pristine rivers, our yoga sessions take place in settings that inspire awe and reverence for the natural world. Through yoga, we encourage guests and students to cultivate a deeper connection with nature, fostering a sense of harmony and balance within themselves and the environment.
We urge and invite likeminded organisations to come forward and join us in our endeavour towards a healthy and hearty India.
