Calcutta Rescue started as street clinic 1979. Now there are four free clinics in Calcutta, plus a medical room in one school. Our second school is located next to one of the clinics. Clinics include an urban DOTS program and a leprosy clinic. Outreach programs operate in slums and rural areas. We have a rural DOTS program. Also an arsenic filtration program in Malda District, West Bengal. Two rural weaving centres and a Calcutta sewing workshop.
