“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 services of urban slum dwellers on the other has also surfaced to be equally deplorable. Despite accounting for 1/4th of the country’s poor population, urban areas have less than 4% of government primary health care 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.

The neglect in even the simplest preventive medical treatment usually leads to a more serious ailment and eventually into deaths. The need of the hour is thus a two pronged approach – first to bring quality health care services to doorsteps of the needy and second to promote healthcare awareness and contemporary health care services seeking behaviour among the underprivileged.

A thriving community begins with healthy, vibrant people. That’s why we take part in programs that help less privileged people from all corners of the society to stay healthy and medically fit to carry on their day to day work without any trouble.

From providing nutritious, sustainably sourced food items to promoting hygiene among people with low income and those living without a roof over their head, we at Cyfuture has initiated several health care programs for the society.
