#WhatDoWeDo
HEALTHCARE FOR ALL
WHY HEALTHCARE
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 are mostly a migrated population for whom livelihood challenges are overwhelming and health lies at the bottom of the pyramid.
WHAT WE DO
Kapil Patil Foundation’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 availability, accessibility and affordability of healthcare.
OUR INTERVENTIONS :
>> Mobile Healthcare :
Reaching the unreached through fully-equipped Mobile Healthcare Units staffed with doctors and paramedics, providing OPD services, point-of-care test facilities and medicines.
>> Telemedicine :
Connecting people from remote rural areas with doctors for specialized healthcare from nearby urban health centres, through e-Health Kiosks and Telemedicine Centres staffed with paramedics.
>> Health camps :
Providing need-based healthcare services to specific target groups through standalone health camps with specialized doctors, point-of-care tests, and sometimes surgical facilities.
