Our health programmes draw from the biological, environmental, psychological, physical, and medical sciences to prevent disease, disability, and premature death through education-driven alongside some field action, behavior change activities.

Integrated Rehabilitation Centre for Addicts:
Though the drug menace is universal, we in India and for that matter in Odisha suffer hugely and that too on many fronts including personal, communal, social, and developmental fronts. In all, the drug devil eclipses almost all aspects of a normal, personal, and social life and thereby causing the greatest damage. And with all humility in place, BAHIRKANCHALI SRISTI EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY attempts at employing its positive action force towards countering the evil and to bring possible good into the individual and family–cum- social life of the drug victim or say the drug abuser.
Dhenkanal and Angul districts are the drug-sensitive and vulnerable districts of Odisha. Illegal trafficking of drugs and its abuse is rampant in different areas of the districts. The ongoing Drug Abuse Monitoring System (DAMS) conducted by BAHIRKANCHALI SRISTI EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY regularly indicates that drug abuse patterns are increasing day by day in these districts due to inadequate intervention to aware the people of its consequences. Availability of Narcotic Analgesic such as Opium, Chupi (extract of Poppy), Heroine, Brown Sugar etc. in the open market possesses a big threat and has ruined the socio-economic condition of the people. Most of the people, especially service men, school and college youths, daily laborers, mining workers get trapped in the drug net and ruin their life.
So, to tackle such issues by educating and creating awareness among the general masses on the consequences and illicit trafficking of drugs, the organization BAHIRKANCHALI SRISTI EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY has been implementing the Integrated Rehabilitation Centre for Addicts with a 15-bed capacity in Dhenkanal and Angul districts with the support of the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, Govt. of India. The program caters to services like OPD, IPD, counseling, follow-up, vocational training (to the IPD cases), rehabilitation, and reintegration.

Maternal and Child Health
Maternal health is the health of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. It encompasses the healthcare dimensions of family planning, preconception, parental and postnatal care in order to ensure a positive and fulfilling experience, in most cases, and reduce maternal morbidity and mortality. Maternal health revolves around the health and wellness of women, particularly when they are pregnant, at the time they give birth, and during child-raising. WHO has indicated that even though motherhood has been considered as a fulfilling natural experience that is emotional to the mother, a high percentage of women go through a lot of challenges where they suffer health-wise and sometimes even die. Because of this, there is a need to invest in the health of women. The investment can be achieved in different ways, among the main ones being subsidizing the healthcare cost, education on maternal health, encouraging effective family planning, and ensuring progressive check-ups on the health of women with children.
