SKILLING RURAL YOUTH OF KHURJA
In rural India, the lack of healthcare professionals remains a significant challenge, leading to inadequate medical services and poor health outcomes for many communities. The shortage of qualified doctors, nurses, and paramedical staff in these areas often results in delayed treatments, insufficient care, and an overburdened healthcare system.
WE BELIEVE that by equipping local youth with the necessary skills through specialized paramedical training, we can help create a sustainable healthcare workforce that meets the needs of the rural communities and ensures better healthcare services for all.
