Delivering healthcare to over a billion people is a very complex challenge. Subodh Jan Kalyan Samiti works in close collaboration with State and Central Government and other partner organisations to secure accessible and quality maternal and child healthcare among marginalised communities. .
We work towards identifying the root causes of healthcare challenges, provide innovative solutions, and help implement secure and quality healthcare services in India. We promote essential newborn care and immunisation, reduce malnutrition, prevent infant and maternal deaths and protect those affected by Tuberculosis (TB). Subodh Jan Kalyan Samiti works closely with its partners to achieve good healthcare for everyone.
India has made rapid strides in the health sector since independence. However, various eye opening data from NFHS clearly indicate that access to healthcare still remains a challenge.
615585 people received healthcare services through 39 operational projects in 585 remote villages and slums
Over 70% of the total beneficiaries covered in the reporting period were women and children
5095 school going children benefitted from School Health Programme that are conducted regularly to build a health seeking next generation
463 multi-specialty camps were conducted in urban slums and rural village, meeting immediate healthcare needs of 31,648 people
In such a scenario a mobile healthcare services delivery system is the most practical mechanism. And in subscription to this view, Smile Foundation has initiated the Smile on Wheels programme. This is a unique mobile hospital programme that seeks to address problems of mobility, accessibility and availability of primary healthcare with a special focus on children and women, in urban slums and remote rural areas.
The need of the hour is thus a two pronged approach – first to bring quality healthcare services to doorsteps of the needy and second to promote healthcare awareness and contemporary healthcare seeking behavior among the underprivileged.
