hospital Free medical camp and Relief Kit distribution- A new ray of hope in
Attapadi Hamlet
The total number of
infant deaths in Attapadi touched 28 this year. Infant deaths in four
months due to poor nutrition and
inadequate healthcare has left the tribal belt of Attapadi in Kerala
devastated. The tribal belt of Attapadi in Kerala has never had it so bad. The
high infant and neonatal mortality in Attappadi is primarily due to acute
protein malnourishment or Kwashiorkor disease while general malnutrition or
anaemia is only a contributing factor.

provide relief among the tribal belts of Attapadi. Senior physician Dr C.P
Jaffer ,Chief pediatrician Dr Shaike Koya,
