Family Health Centre in Gwal Pahari

DLF Foundation, in collaboration with the Adharshila Trust, continues to support the Family Health Centre at Gwal Pahari, Gurugram. Committed to providing quality healthcare to underserved communities, the Centre provides free healthcare services, including diagnostic screenings, OPD consultations, and essential medications, to villagers and slum residents who lack access to affordable medical care.

To support its community outreach initiatives, the Health Centre organises several programmes in surrounding areas. These included cancer screening camps for early detection, eye care camps focused on vision issues, and informative sessions on maternal and child health, nutrition, and hygiene. In FY 2024-25, the project benefitted ~6,725 individuals from low-income backgrounds.

Cancer Screening Camp

Cancer being a silent, yet deadly disease often escapes detection and therefore, it is important to detect it on time. With the endeavour to detect this deadly disease, DLF Foundation in collaboration with Adharshila Trust and Tanisa Foundation organised a Cancer Screening Camp for the underserved communities of Gwal Pahari, Gurugram. As part of this initiative, Tanisa Foundation conducted a series of tests ranging from Clinical Oral Examination by ENT, PAP Smear test by Gynaecologist, Clinical Breast Examination by Gynaecologist, Blood sugar, Blood pressure, Mammography test, Dental Check-ups, and Eye Check-ups. Around 229 beneficiaries benefitted through this initiative.

Supporting Cataract Surgeries for the Underserved Communities

Cataracts are a leading cause of bilateral blindness in India, responsible for 50-80% of cases. Limited awareness, accessibility, and high costs make treatment challenging for individuals from urban and rural slums. To address this issue, DLF Foundation and ICARE Eye Hospital have joined hands to provide free cataract surgery, enabling vision restoration. Through this initiative, 700 successful cataract surgeries have been performed for rural beneficiaries in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Delhi. Through this initiative DLF Foundation aims to support underserved communities by providing accessible and affordable surgical interventions that improve quality of life.

24X7 Emergency Ambulances

An ambulance service plays a critical role in saving lives by providing immediate medical assistance to the critically ill. DLF Foundation has deployed several ambulances across various locations in NCR. Patients from urban slums can now avail free ambulance services to reach the nearest hospital in case of an emergency.

This project had the maximum impact in 2021 as the public struggled to reach hospitals and medical facilities during the second wave of Covid. Six ambulances were deployed for emergency evacuation of patients to nearby hospitals. The ambulances not only ensured emergency evacuation of patients to nearby hospitals but also distributed oxygen cylinders and oxygen concentrators to the Covid-affected families across NCR. The ambulances ensure that critically ill patients from underprivileged backgrounds get immediate medical care, through linkages with hospitals.

In FY 2024-2025, three ambulances equipped with Basic Life Support (BLS) systems were deployed to provide timely medical assistance and emergency care to those in need. These ambulances were strategically stationed in multiple locations in Gurugram and Panchkula, operating 24/7 to ensure swift accessibility, particularly for underserved communities facing medical emergencies. ~428 individuals received critical pre-hospital emergency care through this initiative.

BENEFITED FROM THE AMBULANCE PROJECT
Eye Screening & Wellness Initiative

With a population of approximately 8 million, India has the second-highest number of blind people in the world. To address this challenge, DLF Foundation has partnered with AKAK Clearview Foundation to launch a new Project on Eye Screening Health and Wellness in Gurugram.

The Project has endeavoured to take eye screening camps to local communities, ensuring early detection of vision-related concerns. Beneficiaries identified with impaired vision are being provided with customised spectacles, enabling a better quality of life and productivity. Additionally, the Project aims to raise awareness about the importance of regular eye check-ups, increase access to eye care, and foster a culture of preventive healthcare.

Promoting Holistic Wellness
Through Naturopathy and Alternative Medicine

DLF Foundation is dedicated to providing accessible, natural, and holistic healthcare solutions to underserved communities. Our initiatives in Naturopathy and Acupressure Therapy focus on addressing health concerns while promoting overall wellness and disease prevention.

Naturopathy empowers individuals to achieve self-healing through a balanced diet, regular exercise, and effective stress management, addressing both physical and mental well-being. Acupressure Therapy targets specific pressure points to alleviate pain, stress, and digestive issues without the use of medication, offering a gentle, drug-free approach to healthcare.

In FY 2024-25, 5,077 beneficiaries received personalised treatments and consultations in Delhi and Gurugram. In addition to treatment, the project emphasised preventive care and patient awareness, equipping individuals with the knowledge and tools to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Medical Assistance to People in Need

Medical assistance can help save the lives of those in need by providing quality medical care at hospitals and medical institutions. Many critically ill patients are not able to afford the essential medical care. Financial support is provided to NGOs, healthcare institutions, and patients in urgent need of treatment. This project promotes equitable access to medical treatment across public and private healthcare facilities. By supporting those in need, the initiative enhances the well-being of economically disadvantaged sections and contributes to a healthier, more equitable society. In the last FY, 362 patients received financial support for critical medical treatments.
