With a population of 140 Billion, last-mile delivery of healthcare in our country has always been a challenge. Nearly 72% of the population lives in rural areas and has access to only about 25% of the healthcare infrastructure. On the other hand, urban slum dwellers– mostly a migrated population for whom livelihood challenges are overwhelming, health lies at the bottom of the pyramid.
Free healthcare for all is one of the dreams that NGOs in Delhi and the rest of India are working towards. Through mobile healthcare units and mobile clinics, many nonprofits are reaching the doorsteps of remote villages, urban villages, and more where quality healthcare is needed the most.
One of the NGO for medical treatment is Smile Foundation. It’s comprehensive and community-centric health programme takes primary healthcare services to the doorsteps of underserved communities in both rural and urban India. Following a two-pronged approach, the programme provides curative as well as preventive services, addressing the gaps in the availability, accessibility, and affordability of healthcare.
Their healthcare programme is one of the best in the country and they have pledged to support millions of families to become healthy and happy in the coming years.
