Giving is Living
He who has health has hope, and he who has hope has everything” – Arabic proverb
India has made rapid strides in the health sector since independence. However, various eye-opening data from NFHS clearly indicate that access to healthcare still remains a challenge.
While the health statistics of rural India continue to be poor, the health status and access to health for the poor in urban slum dwellers have surfaced to be equally deplorable and have less than 4% of government primary healthcare facilities
Urban slum dwellers suffer from adverse health conditions owing to mainly two reasons –first the lack of education and thus lack of awareness; and second the unwillingness to lose a day’s wage in order to reach the nearest medical facility. Healthcare for underprivileged, which is a desperate need, thus remains unaddressed.
The healthcare infrastructure came under considerable strain during the Covid-19 pandemic and exposed its shortcomings. But there are several NGOs which are identifying the root causes of healthcare challenges and are coming up with innovative solutions. We at UMEED are working in various areas such as child and reproductive health, nutrition, early identification of diseases, and treatment of communicable diseases.
To promote healthy living and to facilitate prevention, early detection and management of non-communicable diseases. To ensure provision of state-of-the-art Emergency Care Services, including medical, surgical (especially Trauma and Burn Care), pediatric and obstetric emergency care for all.
The main tasks of NGOs in the health system are providing services and health advocacy. Provision of services includes medical, social and psychological services as well as, integration activities, care and nursing, material and financial support, educational and information services and training.
The UMEED FOUNDATION on Health Care programme has so far provided free healthcare services to more than 1000+ Peoples.
