PATHIC
:-
Preventive Action for Health Information and Counselling in
partnership with Inner Wheel
The need for dissemination
of information about the healing power of nature and its capacity
to fight diseases has never been so vital. There have been
so much calculated destruction of biodiversity that the world
will lose the very species that has made the survival of homo-
sapiens possible in the planet. Some of the most promising
wonder drugs come from nature. History teaches us the folly
of destroying species that could benefit humanity.
SM Charitable Foundation
has set up a healthcare facility called PATHIC (Preventive
Action Through Health Information and Counselling) near Kalindi
Kunj in New Delhi. Crores of rupees are currently spent on
heart surgeries only because people are unaware what leads
to heart attacks. They have little information that small
changes in one's life style can free them completely from
heart ailments. It is surprising how little information is
available on health. One can eat ones way to healthy eating
only if one has information on what to eat and how food affects
various ailments. Prevention is far better than cure. PATHIC
is primarily intended to disseminate information on fighting
diseases, encouraging healthy life style, integrated living
and family planning. It is currently serving the villages
around Delhi. SM foundation proposes to set up such centres
right across the country.
