Access to healthcare and hygiene awareness is a key enabler of community well-being, particularly in underserved geographies where preventive practices and timely medical support can significantly influence health outcomes. Our initiatives address these needs through outreach, awareness, counselling and accessible healthcare services.
Our approach combines early intervention with reliable access to care. We work with communities, frontline workers and implementation partners to promote healthier behaviours, strengthen preventive practices and provide last-mile support for primary healthcare needs.
This work is structured around two complementary pillars.
Proactive health
Strengthening preventive health practices through awareness, counselling, behaviour change communication and early identification of health needs.
Curative health
Improving access to essential healthcare through mobile and static medical services, targeted outreach and referrals where required.
Proactive health
Our proactive health initiatives focus on preventive care, early identification of health risks and behaviour change among vulnerable community groups. The programme prioritises women of reproductive age, children, frontline community workers, adolescents, the elderly, daily-wage earners and mobile populations such as truck drivers. Awareness, screening, counselling and timely referrals help address health risks before they escalate into more serious conditions.
The preventive approach is delivered through targeted interventions for key population groups:
- For women of reproductive age, regular screening and counselling support early identification and treatment of iron-deficiency anaemia, guided by World Health Organization cut-offs
- For children aged 0-10 years, monthly growth monitoring helps identify undernutrition, supported by parental counselling on dietary diversity and appropriate nutrition practices in line with World Health Organization growth charts
- For frontline community workers, including Anganwadi Workers, Accredited Social Health Activists, Auxiliary Nurse Midwives and identified Poshan Sakhis, capacity-building interventions strengthen service delivery and support programme sustainability
Curative health
Curative healthcare initiatives are designed to ensure timely and accessible medical support for underserved communities that may face systemic, geographic or financial barriers to reliable healthcare. This work is delivered through three complementary channels: Mobile Medical Units, Static Health Units and the SAFAR programme for the trucker community.
Mobile Medical Units
Mobile Medical Units deliver essential healthcare services directly to remote and underserved communities. These services include general consultations, primary treatment, medication, basic diagnostics and referrals to secondary or specialist care where required.
The MMUs extend their reach by:
- Providing home-based care to bedridden patients
- Facilitating access to government health schemes, including Ayushman Bharat, state-level schemes and ESI registration
- Conducting awareness sessions on hygiene, nutrition and preventive healthcare alongside curative consultations
This mobile-first model supports continuity of care while strengthening health literacy and community trust in formal healthcare systems.
Enabling early diagnosis and chronic
disease
management through doorstep care

Beneficiaries served by Mobile Medical Units in FY 2025-26
Adhilaxmi, a 60-year-old agricultural labourer from Dopperla village in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, had been experiencing dizziness, excessive sweating, severe headaches and abnormal hunger. For her family, accessing healthcare involved lost wages, travel costs and long waiting hours, which made timely diagnosis and treatment difficult. As her symptoms began affecting her work and daily routine, village-level healthcare support became important.
Community mobilisation through Mobile Medical Unit announcements and local outreach encouraged her to visit the MMU on 13 November 2025. Screening indicated high-risk readings, with blood pressure of 163/85 mmHg and random blood sugar of 345 mg/dl, leading to a diagnosis of hypertension and diabetes.
The MMU team initiated treatment and counselled her on medication adherence, dietary discipline, regular follow-up and the risks associated with unmanaged chronic conditions.
By her follow-up visit in next month, Adhilaxmi’s health indicators had improved, with blood pressure reducing to 148/78 mmHg and random blood sugar to 211 mg/dl. Continued counselling and follow-up at the MMU service point helped her report improved health and confidence in managing her condition. The case reflects how doorstep healthcare, early diagnosis and sustained handholding can support chronic disease management in underserved rural communities.
Static Health Units
Static Health Units operate as permanent healthcare access points within community catchments. They provide regular consultations, routine diagnostics, preventive screenings, immunisation support and health education sessions to build long-term awareness.
These units serve as dependable community touchpoints, supporting sustained access to care and improved health outcomes.

SAFAR programme: healthcare for the trucker community
SAFAR Clinics address the healthcare needs of the trucker community, which faces specific vulnerabilities arising from long travel hours, sedentary routines, irregular schedules and sustained exposure to dust, fumes and pollution. The programme provides medical consultations, treatment and medication, supported by physiotherapy, nutritional counselling, stress management and lifestyle counselling.
This targeted intervention supports trucker well-being on the road and at home, contributing to a healthier workforce within the logistics ecosystem and supporting safer mobility through improved driver health.
Restoring mobility and confidence through
physiotherapy
The SAFAR programme supports the health needs of truck drivers, who often face musculoskeletal strain due to long driving hours, prolonged sitting and limited access to timely care. Pravin Raut, a 45-year-old driver from Bhor with 15 years of driving experience, visited the SAFAR Clinic Physiotherapy service on 5 October 2025 with severe lower back and left shoulder pain that was affecting his ability to drive comfortably and manage daily activities.
Over three physiotherapy sessions, he received a combination of hot moist pack therapy, IFT and TENS machine therapy, stretching exercises and ergonomic guidance. The treatment plan focused on pain relief, improved mobility and posture correction to help reduce discomfort during driving and prolonged sitting.
Following the sessions, Pravin reported considerable relief from pain, with only mild discomfort remaining. He was able to resume driving comfortably, perform regular work without medication and manage his routine with improved physical comfort. The case reflects how targeted physiotherapy and practical guidance at SAFAR Clinics can support driver well-being, continuity of work and safer mobility.
Improving chronic respiratory
care
through local health support
Kumari, a 72-year-old widow from Kudikadu village, was living with chronic respiratory illness, including asthma, wheezing and COPD. Limited income, dependence on an old-age pension and the distance to the nearest government hospital made regular treatment difficult. Frequent breathlessness, coughing and chest tightness affected her mobility, sleep and confidence, while travel and medicine expenses added to the burden.
Primary Health Centre support brought care closer to her home through regular check-ups, respiratory assessments, oxygen saturation monitoring and blood pressure screening. She received free inhalers, bronchodilators and essential medicines, along with counselling on inhaler use, medication adherence, breathing exercises and ways to avoid common triggers such as dust, smoke and poor ventilation.
Consistent local healthcare support helped stabilise her condition, reduce severe breathlessness episodes and improve her sleep, energy levels and confidence in managing the illness. Nearby access to free treatment reduced travel and medicine costs, while regular guidance strengthened her confidence in accessing continued care. The case reflects how accessible primary healthcare can support chronic disease management for elderly rural patients through timely treatment, preventive counselling and continued follow-up.
