DLF Foundation has partnered with Fortis Healthcare for a series of Health Screening Camps in Gurugram, Delhi and Noida. These health screening camps are organized for the general public and labourers to promote regular health check-ups and provide quality healthcare to the underserved. Tests are conducted to check blood pressure, blood sugar levels, liver functionality (SGOT and SGPT) and ECG. Around 1,071 beneficiaries have been provided healthcare through this initiative.
DLF Foundation is supporting Adharshila for a Family Health Centre in Gwal Pahari, Gurugram, to make quality healthcare affordable for impoverished communities living in and around the area. The centre provides speciality care in family medicine, gynaecology, paediatrics, dermatology etc., having specialized doctors visiting the facility thrice a week.
Beneficiaries also have access to general physicians, facilities like a pathology lab and a radiology service. Health camps are being organized as well to detect and diagnose heart diseases, cancer, dental problems, bone density issues, etc.
Around 35-40 patients visit the Centre per day to avail subsidized check-ups. Through this initiative, 4,778 patients received consultation at the Family Health Centre.
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 organized 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.
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.
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 2023-24, six ambulances equipped with basic life support were deployed for emergency evacuation of persons requiring medical support. These strategically placed 24x7 ambulances across Delhi-NCR, have provided essential emergency care to over 1,280 individuals, reflecting our commitment to providing access to critical healthcare services.
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 the last financial year, over 6,780 beneficiaries received personalized treatments and consultations, addressing a wide range of health concerns, including occupational health issues. In addition to treatment, the program emphasizes preventive care and patient education, equipping individuals with the knowledge and tools to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
DLF Foundation in collaboration with Fortis Hospital has launched the healthcare initiative, ‘Wellness on Wheels’, a mobile healthcare screening bus offering free diagnostic services to all communities.
The mobile screening bus will travel on a weekly basis in Gurugram and adjoining districts including rural and urban areas providing beneficiaries with access to an array of free services including blood analysis, urine analysis, HBA1C, and doctor consultations. The primary goal of this initiative is to bring quality healthcare services to all regardless of their economic background.
With a mission to raise the quality of healthcare services and make critical affordable, DLF Foundation supported the Landour Community Hospital, Mussoorie, with an Anaesthesia Workstation, CT Scan Machine, C- Arm Machine, and a Patient Monitor.
