OUR FOCUS
Fulfilling Our Mission
Currently, RAPHAEL strives to fulfil its mission through three thematic in-house programmes as under:
- Special Education
- TB Control
- Life-long Care
SPECIAL EDUCATION (SE) PROGRAMME
SPECIAL EDUCATION (SE) PROGRAMME
The objective of the SE Programme is to generate awareness about Persons with Disability (PwD) through advocacy; identify and assess children and young adults with intellectual & other developmental disabilities (such as, but not limited to Autism, Cerebral Palsy & Down Syndrome); educate & train children with disabilities (CwD) to realise their potential and facilitate their rehabilitation in the family and community. SE activities are carried out both on and off campus.
TB CONTROL PROGRAMME
TB CONTROL PROGRAMME
The objective of the TB Control Programme is to assist the Uttarakhand State Government in the control –detection, treatment and prevention – of TB.
RAPHAEL is a government designated Directly Observed Treatment Short Course (DOTS) Centre. Its TB Control Programme is run in accordance with guidelines laid down in the National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme (NTEP).
Its facilities include a 20 (12 male; 8 female) bed hospital; an Out-patient Department; and a clinical laboratory.
LIFELONG CARE PROGRAMME
LIFELONG CARE PROGRAMME
The objective of the Life-long Care Programme is to provide a life of dignity to persons with disability.
The Life-long Care Programme is a legacy of the past. When RAPHAEL first started it began by caring for Leprosy Cured Patients rescued off the streets. However if leprosy is diagnosed early it is completely curable and hence we no longer admit patients.
