Promotion Trust
Care that reaches out
Welcome to Health Promotion Trust
The term Holistic Health or Holistic Healing comes from the word whole, meaning complete. There is no one universal definition for Holistic Health, but there seems to be a common thread that runs through all of the definitions of Holistic Health. That is, to look at the self from a whole (holistic) perspective and to understand the mind, body and spirit connection and the importance of balancing all aspects.

Reinforcing A 25-year Commitment to Preventive Health - A Health Promotion Trust Endeavor
The Health Promotion Trust (HPT) of the Archdiocese of Bombay is counting down to a very significant upcoming milestone in 2025 - 25 years of preventive health outreach among urban and rural marginalized communities. We are very grateful that through these years, our need-based programs have continued to align with our vision of making health care a reality for all, by conscientizing people about the value of preventive health.
Current health scenario: Per the 2019 WHO health study report, every year 17 million people die prematurely, before the age of 70, due to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and respiratory diseases. Fortunately, all of these can be prevented, controlled or managed through intentional lifestyle changes.
Year-Long Series of Programs: In response to the above problems (Read More..), and to commemorate 25 years of championing the cause of preventive health in our communities, we will be collaborating with our stakeholders to organize specially designed programs for the following vulnerable target groups:

Promotion Trust | Holistic Health
The definition of holistic health is simple and inclusive. It is your overall state of wellness on all levels of your being: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. It covers the health of your entire being and extends to your resources, environment and relationships.
The World Health Organization’s definition on Health is ‘A state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.’ Sustainable approaches towards health development must be holistic taking into account all the factors that influence health. The millennium development goals for health, the targets and the indicators are also to be looked at.
