Health care activities by Anjali started about 29 years ago. During all these years there have been major changes /modifications /up gradation of buildings and medical equipments in phased manner. During the current year there were changes /modifications to increase facilities and convenience of hospital patients. A bus was added to make eye camp logistics easy. A central oxygen generating unit was installed to ensure uninterrupted supply of oxygen on each hospital bed. These were efforts to consolidate and strengthen hospital services. As part of women's program efforts were made to keep women members motivated and develop their skills and capabilities. Their true understanding was reflected the way they took loans. Their capabilities and grasping was realized when on their own they took decision to and planned celebrations of 8th March, Women's Day in 15 villages. Tree plantation work continued during the year, at our efforts to keep the environment balanced. During the current year instead of planting new trees, the trees already planted were comprehensively taken care of. All the activities of Anjali have been possible because of your cooperation, warmth, guidance and assistance. Looking forward to continued cooperation, assistance and support in coming years. Do plan a visit to Anjali at your convenience, it will be our pleasure. With best Wishes, Anita Shah Managing Trustee 3 About Anjali Society for Rural Health & Development ANJALI Anjali was established in the year 1988. The activities of the organisation were initiated on 29th January 1989. The founders after completing higher education founded Anjali in order to use their skills & capabilities for the poor and the needy. Anjali is a voluntary organisation based in village Ranasan. Ranasan with population of 5000 is a village in Talod taluka of Sabarkantha district in north Gujarat in India. Beginning was made with health activities, the poor and the needy being the target population. The health activities developed progressively and other activities were included as the needs were perceived At present the activities of Anjali are, a 75 bed Anjali Hospital, women's programm in 48 interior villages (on the platform of saving groups) and environment enrichment programm. Organisation is inclined towards development programmes for children, youth, and villages The soil in Ranasan & in its vicinity is rocky & sandy and the climate is dry, windy, hot during 7-8 months of the year and cold during the winter months. The rainfall is less and unpredictable. There are two rivers which run if there is ample of rainfall. There are few lakes & other sources of water. The principal vocation of the people is agriculture. There are no industries in the vicinity. The level of education is low. Most of the population is economically & socially weak. The majority of the population of this area comes from the communities of Thakors, Dalits, Ravals, Vagharis, Banjaras, Vadi, Pagi, Rabarisamaj and migrant adivasi labourers. Most of them earn their livelihood as agriculture or miscellaneous labour. They have not made much progress either economically or socially. This group of people along with other economically weak & distressed section of the population are the main beneficiaries of Anjali's activities. Vision and Mission Statement Vision Promotion of health & all round development of rural population without any distinction of caste, colour or creed. Mission 1.

A hospital without oxygen cannot be imagined. Slowly oxygen cylinders are being replaced by central oxygen pipelines which run throughout the hospital in all the places where oxygen is utilized. Multiple big cylinders are kept in one place and oxygen is fed in the pipeline. The oxygen cylinders have to be procured and frequently empty cylinders have to be replaced, many times at night also, the cost of all this is significant. Shri Chandravadanbhai Shah & Smt. Ushaben Shah of Mumbai donated Rs 20 lacs for Central Oxygen Generating unit which concentrates oxygen from air and feeds it in to the oxygen pipelines continuously. Both of them are providing significant financial support to Anjali since last 8 years. Their contribution for the central oxygen unit has significantly brought down expenditure on purchase of oxygen. On behalf of Anjali and the villagers of this area we are thankful to both of them. Since last many years Eye work is being done. As new medical instruments are available old instruments are replaced or upgraded in the Eye department. It has been possible to reach out to faraway tribal areas as well as interior villages through eye camps. The eye camp activity in figures is as follows: 5 Activities Society for Rural Health & Development ANJALI District No. of OPD Operations Spectacles Eye Camps Patients provided to patients Sabarkantha 30 4552 409 2347 Arvalli 23 4696 303 2701 Total 53 9248 712 5048 Camp patients diagnosed with cataract from interior villages are brought in bus and after surgery on next day they are taken back to where they came from in bus.

Yes, workers of Anjali play the role of facilitator, the results of which are very good. Members regularly take loans and accomplish their work/needs. It seems that their self-confidence and self-esteem have also increased. Whenever they want break from their busy daily routine, they like to go out on tour. This time they went to Poicha (near Vadodara) and enjoyed. During annual meetings held at Anjali, we take one topic which is useful to them. When you ask them about their health they will say very well but do something about my legs, joints are very painful. These women have to do much physical work, they take pain killers themselves. So this year during annual meetings at Anjali they were given information about joint pains and Diabetes. Information was given regarding joint structure, cause of pain and how relief can be obtained.
