Mother & Child Health Screening
The Divine Child Health Program — giving expectant mothers and children in rural India access to quality healthcare, completely free of cost.
Divine Child Health Program
Every child deserves a healthy start
Since September 2017, our teams have screened mothers and children across West Bengal, Jharkhand and Assam, built on the framework of India's Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram.
The Divine Child Health Program began in West Bengal and the North East in September 2017 as a comprehensive early detection and screening initiative, aligned with the four pillars of the national Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram: defects at birth, deficiencies, disease, and development delays & disabilities.

Our Approach
The 4 D's of early detection
Defects at Birth
Early identification of congenital conditions present from birth.
Deficiencies
Screening for nutritional deficiencies including anaemia in children and mothers.
Disease
Detection of common childhood illnesses and infections needing timely treatment.
Development Delays & Disabilities
Tracking developmental milestones to flag delays and disabilities early.
Cardiac Screening Technology
Listening for heart murmurs, powered by HD Steth
In partnership with HD Medical Group (USA), our teams use the HD Steth — an ECG-enabled stethoscope with Bluetooth connectivity that lets clinicians visualise a child's cardiac waveform in real time, helping detect heart murmurs that a routine check-up could otherwise miss.
Every consultation also includes a general physical check, vision screening and nutritional assessment, so no part of a child's health is overlooked.
