PROJECT OVERVIEW: ITC CSR MMUs - Assam The Hans Foundation, in collaboration with ITC Limited has launched an innovative Mobile Medical Unit (MMU) project in the Kamrup District of Assam. This initiative is designed to extend much-needed healthcare services to underserved communities, tackling significant health issues that have been identified through comprehensive secondary research as well as our extensive hands-on experience in the region. The primary aim of the Mobile Medical Units (MMUs) is to dramatically improve healthcare access for the underserved rural populations residing in Rampur, Chaygaon, Bongaon, and Chayani Bardur within Kamrup District. These mobile units will deliver a wide array of essential medical services, focusing on preventative care and health education while directly addressing the prevalent health challenges faced by these communities. As a result of the MMU program, we anticipate fostering a healthier, more resilient population in Kamrup District. By bridging the gap in healthcare access and increasing health literacy, the MMUs are poised to engage with the community actively. This initiative will not only address immediate health concerns but also contribute to the long-term well-being and vitality of residents, empowering them to lead healthier lives and strengthening the overall fabric of the community.
