Over its 15 years of existence, THF has reached more than 35 million beneficiaries through its programs.

PROJECT OVERVIEW: MOBILE MEDICAL UNITS
India's healthcare faces rising costs and chronic disease prevalence, with rural areas being significantly underserved. To address these disparities, innovative solutions like Mobile Medical Units (MMUs) are crucial.
MMUs help reduce health disparities by providing urgent care, preventative screenings, and chronic disease management directly in communities. They leverage local assets to offer tailored, affordable healthcare, adapting to community needs.
The Hans Foundation's MMUs reach underdeveloped and inaccessible areas, providing quality primary healthcare and increasing health awareness. Currently, they operate in Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Assam and Madhya Pradesh.
Each MMU team includes an MBBS Doctor, a SPO, a Pharmacist, a Lab Technician, and a Driver, supported by village-level Health Workers. This approach ensures comprehensive healthcare delivery at the grassroots level.
By implementing MMUs, The Hans Foundation aims to provide equitable and accessible healthcare to underserved rural populations in India.
