EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES TO HEALTH CARE

PROBLEM STATEMENT

A serious drawback of India’s health system is the neglect of the rural masses. According to health information, only 31.5% of hospitals and 16% of hospital beds are situated in rural areas where 75% of the total population of India resides. In fact, in 1999-2000, there were only 5.5 doctors per 10,000 in rural areas. Due to this, there is a severe healthcare crisis in rural India with the population having inadequate access to even basic healthcare infrastructure which leads them to have major health issues that could have been easily prevented by arranging timely treatment.

MISSION

To provide Equal opportunities to quality health care for the underprivileged irrespective of community gender, caste, class, age & geographical location to improve their overall physical and mental well-being.
