In 1948, in its constitution, the World Health Organization (WHO) defined health as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. In more recent years, this statement has been modified to include the ability to lead a "socially and economically productive life. Safal Society considers, good health is the fundamental right of an individual. A person is healthy when he is both mentally and physically fit.

Our major health programmes includes:
Reproductive and child health care programme
In 1997 government of India started reproductive and child health programme, so that reproductive health including period of pregnancy, child birth and postnatal period and child health could be made available to the people. Client centered, demand driven and high quality care will be provided involving community participation. Management of reproductive tract infections /sexually transmitted infections, referral and management of complicated obstetric cases have been included in the program. Reproductive and child health program is 100% centrally sponsored five year program. Target of this programme is:
1. To decrease birth rate, death rate, infant mortality rate, child mortality rate and maternal rate
2. To decrease the blindness due to lack of Vitamin A in children.
3. Management of RTI/STI and information regarding prevention from AIDS.
4. To increase the couple protection rate.
5. Full care of pregnant women and to increase the safe delivery rate.

HIV/AIDS
Recent figures of HIV/AIDS infections among adults and children in India are estimated at 5.1 million. India has the second largest HIV positive population after South Africa. Without appropriate action and given the risk factors in India, some predict the infection levels will rise as high as 20 to 25 million by 2010, or equal to the combined population of London, New York and Tokyo. This is the time to act!
High-risk groups such as migrant laborers, truck drivers, sex workers and intravenous drug users. However, of the 40 percent HIV infections among women, only 0.5% sex workers. Additionally, HIV prevalence is moving from the urban centers to the rural populations: rural 58.6%, urban 41.4%, with a population split of 72.2% rural, 27.8% urban including in affected. Mostly women are at high risks because of not only lack of education but due to the forced sex during marriage, transactional sex which puts them at high risks. They themselves are not only at risks but also are the “carriers” of the disease, inflicting their future generation.
Our special programmes under this significant category include:
1. To make people aware of this disease.
2. To make people aware of its causes and transmission of infection.
3. To make people aware of the methods that prevents transmission.
4. Facilitating them to undergo regular health check ups to ensure they are HIV free.
5. To promote educated, yet to marry people to undergo check-ups for HIV/AIDS and other STDs before marriage.
6. To engage socialites and celebrities in promoting HIV/ AIDS awareness.

PULSE POLIO
Polio is commonest contributor among locomotors disabled.
Poliomyelitis virus not only contributes in locomotors disability but also affects mental health of the children. As we have initially stated that welfare of women and children are our primary concern, hence our goal is to ensure every child in our society is healthy both mentally and physically. Under pulse polio programme we make it sure that:
1. Every child of 0-5 years of age get pulse polio vaccine when vaccination programme is announced by GOI.
2. To make parents aware of health problems their children might face when they will left unimmunised.
3. Ensuring proper health care to the child who left untreated.
4. To accomplish pulse polio camps in targeted areas.
5. Promoting educated youngsters to volunteer in pulse polio moment.

Medical camps
In collaboration with some government hospitals we set up several medical camps time to time, such as blood donation camps, free of cost eye check up camps, free of cost cataract operation camps, free of cost health check up camps for poor people.
In these camps we provide information about STDs as HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, gonorrhea etc. Other important information provided are about harms of cigarette smoking, about basic hygiene, about several forms of cancers as lung cancers, mouth cancers, breast cancer (commonest form of cancer among women irrespective of their socio-economic condition), blood cancers etc.
People who need further check ups or information are directed to respective hospitals.
