Our health care programme aims to build sustainable and inclusive systems and services for persons with disabilities and other disadvantaged populations. Our mandate in health care includes visual impairments, hearing and speech impairments, physical impairments, mental illness, intellectual disability, and multiple disabilities.
While our eye care programmes are well known, we also support cross-disability health interventions such as ear and hearing care, mental health care, and physical impairments such as clubfoot. We work to minimise the conditions that lead to disability and reduce the prevalence of diseases that cause impairments. We also work on prevention and health promotion besides curative treatment, therapy, and support with assistive devices. Our emphasis is that health services should be inclusive and accessible to persons with disabilities.
CBM strives to promote inclusive education, addressing above components through our unique programmes, learning together playing together
