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 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 120 beneficiaries benefitted through this initiative.

Ambulance Services

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. Till date, this Project has benefited over 2100+ beneficiaries.
