Since gaining independence, India has achieved quick advancements in the medical field. However, numerous sobering statistics from NFHS make it very evident that access to healthcare is still a problem.

While India’s rural areas continue to have low health indicators, urban slum dwellers’ health conditions and access to healthcare have been revealed to be as appalling, and less than 4% of government primary healthcare facilities.

Urban slum residents’ poor education and lack of awareness are the main causes of their poor health, and they also avoid going to the local hospital because they don’t want to lose a day’s pay. As a result, the urgent demand for healthcare for the poor is not met.

Thus, a two-pronged technique is required in the present: first, deliver high-quality healthcare services to the doorsteps of the poor; and second, encourage current healthcare-seeking behavior among the impoverished.

A mobile healthcare services delivery system is the most realistic option in such a situation. And the Amarvidya Sewa Yoga Foundation started an initiative in agreement with this viewpoint. This innovative mobile hospital program aims to solve issues with accessibility, mobility, and primary healthcare availability in urban slums and remote rural areas, with a particular focus on children and women.

More than 15,41,000 children and families have received free medical care as a result of the Amarvidya Sewa Yoga Foundation program.
