HEALTH CARE SUPPORT :

Due to the poor availability of Emergency Medical Services in J&K, BWF conducted a survey in the frontier district of Kupwara in collaboration with the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Mumbai.Resultantly, BWF, along with the Directorate of Health Services, J&K provided four cardiac and trauma care ambulances in the valley in order to ensure timely transfer of patients requiring advanced medical treatment in tertiary-care hospitals in the state.The fully equipped medical care ambulances are stationed at Sangrama, Anantnag and Pampore in South Kashmir and Jammu. The gesture was launched and appreciated by Former Chief Minister of J&K, Late Mufti Mohammad Syeed.

BWF acts as a catalyst between the families in Kashmir and specialized hospitals outside the state in undertaking critical treatment of babies suffering from various ailments and sending them back when fully recovered.

The most recent project taken up by BWF was to coordinate with the best of ophthalmologists in the country including Padma awardee Dr. Natrajan and Dr. Shanmugam to perform surgeries on the victims suffering from severe eye injuries due to the use of pellet guns in the ongoing unrest in the valley. Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti appreciated the efforts and expressed gratitude to BWF for their role of coordination.
