In an effort to address loneliness among individuals who are trapped in their homes without support to get out, the Cochin branch of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) has launched community-level interventions.
The project was inaugurated at the grounds of the Welfare Family Members Association in South Kadavanthara. Key activities include volunteer-led home visits and birthday celebrations for identified individuals. Surveys conducted in Mamangalam and Illathuparamb Pattancherry Residents Welfare Association helped identify target groups which include children and the elderly. The surveys were carried out by the respective associations.
