    The document summarizes research conducted by the Sambhavna Trust Clinic in Bhopal on the long-term health impacts of the 1984 Union Carbide gas disaster. The research has generated data on the current health status of survivors through clinic and community studies, as well as monitoring exposure-related deaths. It also includes a study on health impacts in the next generation and an analysis of healthcare services in Bhopal. The research demonstrates that yoga can be useful in treating respiratory, metabolic and hormonal disorders when combined with other treatments.

    ABSTRACT
    The health consequences of the Union Carbide disaster on December 2-3, 1984 in Bhopal have
    been documented through research by official and unofficial agencies. However much of the
    official information remains unpublished and research by unofficial agencies are dated. Current
    information on long term and late manifesting effects are scant if at all. The Sambhavna trust
    Clinic in Bhopal has generated clinic based and community based data on the status of health of
    the survivors of the gas disaster and the individuals exposed to toxic contamination of ground
    water. Through the application of the methodology of Verbal Autopsy, the Clinic monitors
    exposure related mortalities. Our research also includes a study of effect of exposure to toxic
    fumes on the next generation of victims. The Sambhavna Clinic has generated information on the
    status of health care in Bhopal, which includes a study of the drug market, the quality of health
    care offered by the Bhopal Memorial Hospital Trust as well as the practices of the qualified and
    unqualified medical practitioners. Our research in the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions
    have demonstrated the usefulness of Yoga in conjunction with other measures the treatment of
    respiratory, metabolic and hormonal disorders. While there is need to protest the absence of
    official initiatives in generating and publishing information on the status of health and health
    care of the survivors of the Union Carbide disaster, concerted efforts are required to accept and
    address the challenge Bhopal poses as a medical and a public health disaster. We wish to thank
    Professor D.R. Varma, McGill University for his advice on different aspects of the project.
    KEY WORDS: Bhopal, Health, Sambhavna
