Help to equalize health care in rural Punjab, India!
Please, donate and share this campaign via your Social Media and Messenger channels.
Help front-line doctors and nurses continue to provide care to the most vulnerable in rural communities.
How will CIES use the funds raised to help the hospital in Punjab?
Canada India Education Society (CIES) is calling upon its friends and supporters to donate towards the care and relief efforts in rural Punjab, India through the charitable Guru Nanak Mission Hospital in Dhahan-Kaleran. CIES has a long standing relationship in supporting the Guru Nanak Mission Hospital.
The hospital has seen a surge in patients who
are unable to pay for medical services. Guru Nanak Mission Hospital
runs on donations and payment for medical services by those who can
afford to pay for them. The funds
raised from this campaign will ensure adequate protective equipment
for front line workers as they provide care to patients.
Respirators and ventilators will be purchased to support demand.

CIES supports affordable, accessible and quality
health care and education in Punjab, India. It also provides
capacity building resources through Canada India collaborations.
We promote civil society partnerships between Canada and India with a particular focus on relationships between groups in British Columbia and Punjab.
Founded in Vancouver in 1991 by Mr. Budh Singh Dhahan, Mr. Sarup Mann, Mr. Ajit Thandi and Mr. Barj Dhahan along with family and friends, CIES has been successful in building relationships through long-term projects. We have maintained a dedicated network of supporters and volunteers who have assisted our fundraising efforts and delivery of programs.

village development programs in Punjab by working closely with local
partners. We have created thousands of jobs especially for women
from rural areas. Our partnership with the University of British

qualified health care workers in India and Canada.
