The Shaheen Nagar Community Health Centre gives free medical and health services to the homeless, refugees and the poor living in the urban slums of south Hyderabad. It is fully funded by AMPI and managed by our partner, Helping Hand Foundation.
The clinic is about 8.5 km south of the Charminar and is joined with Masjid Omer Shifa, with around 2,000 to 2,200 square feet of space.
Shaheen Nagar is part of a cluster of urban slums and colonies in the Jalpally municipality: Bismillah Colony, Venkatapur, Al Ain Hills Colony, Saif Colony, Al Ain Colony, Wadi E Saleheen, Osman Nagar, Wadi E Mahmood, Wadi E Umar, Osmanagar and Balapur.
Patients are registered and wait in a large, open hall attached to the masjid.
Every patient is checked first so the most urgent cases are seen quickly.
Medicines are given free of charge, so families do not have to buy them outside.
A full dental chair with a qualified dental surgeon.
Women’s health and pregnancy care from a female specialist.
PT and OT rehabilitation by two MSc physiotherapists.
Dressings, stitches and minor procedures in our own procedure room.
