Campaigning towards COVID free Community
Sustainable Healthcare Advancement (SUHAM) of DHAN Foundation focuses on providing quality healthcare at affordable prices for the poor families. Since beginning of the pandemic outbreak, SUHAM has been organizing several awareness camps, releasing multi-lingual (SBCC posters, pamphlets, nutrition materials) material creating awareness among the communities across all the contexts. Collaborations with PHCs, Anganwadi centres and line departments on health have ensured the last mile connectivity. Meanwhile, the health nodal persons across the regions are effective in tracking the co-morbidity and health status of the member families envisaging zero mortality among the member families.

SUHAM’s connectivity with the community through virtual wellness centres and community call centres is on-going, providing doorstep medical facilities and members who needed treatment being referred to healthcare facilities for further treatments, if any.

Rigorous fever camps and COVID-19 screening camps were organized across the regions since the unlock phase. Furthering the initiative, in October month, SUHAM organized general health camps across the working areas, screening for severe ailments, Non-communicable diseases and referring the members in need of treatment to the government healthcare facilities.
