Youthreach, in collaboration with Salaam Baalak Trust, started a health post at the New Delhi Railway Station in 2005. This initiative was started to provide basic health care, including first aid, disseminating information on healthy practices and referrals to children on and around the platforms of New Delhi Station. The health post has reached out to more than 5000 children since its inception.
