Swasthya Bhabna Masik Patrika was regularly published and earned a great reputation but due to shortage of our manpower and wealth we cannot reach to all the districts of West Bengal. In this financial year 2 Life Members were included in our organization. They are welcome on behalf of our organization. Many works were done with the help of our members but there were many things to be undone. But we have a dream to reach to them for the fulfillment of our mission.
With great wishes and thank to all,
