Healthcare

WHO Constitution: "the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being..."

Quality basic healthcare is an essential determinant in the well being of an individual and in enabling her to be productive. We strongly believe that the right to good health is a fundamental human right and we are focused on providing access to affordable and quality healthcare for our members. We intend that every Ujjivan customer/family member will eventually be able to access a Healthcare Management Program that will provide an end to end solution from preventive care through health education modules and health camps, linkages to primary, secondary and tertiary healthcare providers.




Health Camps As part of our healthcare outreach, we conduct Eye, ENT and Dental camps for Ujjivan's customers and their families, across India. These camps are conducted in partnership with local Eye, ENT and Dental hospitals and colleges. All consultation services provided at the camp are free for the beneficiaries. In addition, we also provide hospital care at highly subsidized rates for those patients who need additional treatment after the camp screening. We have set up a donor provided Medical Relief Fund to cover costs for patients who are unable to afford treatment. (Click here if you want to contribute)
