Leading Aahwahan Foundation for Health
Despite the progress and transformations our nation has achieved, our country is slipping behind when it comes to the public health sector. Though the government is implementing policies and programs to improve the situation, they often struggle to address hurdles that fall through the cracks of the public health system. A healthy population is interconnected with the growth of the country, and as per several studies, a predominant part of people in India faces various hardships related to affordability and accessibility to receiving quality health services. It is a matter of concern that, a major number of government hospitals and PHCs lack resources, basic infrastructure, and equipment for treatment this in turn adds misery to the poor people who can't afford private hospitals and leads to compromising on their health. In this critical condition, NGOs in India have been a true savior in alleviating this torment of the nation by taking appropriate actions and presenting clear-cut sustainable remedies for the problems.
The impacts of health NGOs in India are immense and diverse. Through proactive measures and strategies, they have transformed the lives of millions of people in India. The result of their activities has been transparent and evident as it contributed to a reduction in mortality rate, lifespan, health awareness, better disease management & health services.
Aahwahan Foundation, one of the best health NGOs in India, has taken up this issue and has invested consistent efforts to tackle it thoroughly. By entrusting upon the solid ideology and belief to deliver the best health services to the needy without being delayed, or without being denied because of lack of money. Justifying this, Aahwahan has upgraded more than 456 govt hospitals including maternity hospitals, eye care hospitals, taluk hospitals, and 120 primary health centers in India. In a world where the fundamental need for health becomes a business prospect generating crores of money, Aahwahan sets up the best example for NGOs, by presenting the government hospitals with top-notch facilities and advanced equipment better or the same as private hospitals, and the most surprising thing is that all the treatment, the people can access at totally free of cost, with not being worried about any financial challenges.
Addressing the specific challenges in a massively populated country such as India is indeed a monumental task, Aahwahan has introduced 27+ exclusive project initiatives in the health sector to cure this issue, and most significantly enhance health services in our nation for a better tomorrow. Health on Wheels – the mobile hospital for the underprivileged is one of many initiatives that make the foundation stand out from other health NGOs in India in this journey.
Health on Wheels is a fully equipped mobile hospital that encompasses all the services including general consultation, eye care, dental care, and laboratory facilities that can perform 68 + lab tests. This mobile hospital with a group of expert medical professionals will travel across communities of economically disadvantaged people and deliver the best health services to their doorsteps. A large number of marginalized communities and vulnerable groups as women, old age people, kids, and physically challenged people.
Aahwahan has also set up NICU & PICU centers, Modular OT, Oxygen plants, laboratory facilities, renovation, supplying equipment, distributing hospital beds, etc. for transforming the grossly inadequate govt hospitals into fully functioning, and offer all the required services for the people who are relying on it.
The collective blend of systemic actions is considered to be the best strategy for approaching this chronic problem in the public health sector. Health NGOs in India can lead the way towards more equitable and healthier nation.
