Wockhardt Foundation

The Mobile 1000 programme of the Wockhardt Foundation aims to address the lack of accessible primary healthcare in rural India by operating 1000 Mobile Health Clinics. These clinics are equipped with qualified doctors and essential medicines to offer comprehensive primary healthcare services, including awareness, diagnosis, cure, and referral. Currently, there are 211 Mobile 1000 Clinics operational across the country. The programme sets a target of serving 25,000 patients per year, per Clinic, thereby providing free healthcare services to a significant number of rural Indians.

The Hunger Project, an initiative of Wockhardt Foundation, addresses the grave issue of hunger among the impoverished and orphaned population in Mumbai. Recognizing the severe consequences of poverty, the project aims to provide one nutritious meal per day to those suffering from hunger. This initiative becomes crucial as India ranks 107th out of 121 countries in the Global Hunger Index, with approximately 4500 children dying each day due to hunger and malnutrition. With a focus on reducing the hardships faced by the underprivileged, the Hunger Project has already served over 28,000 meals to beneficiaries from orphanages and slums in just six months.

The Pronto Toilet initiative, launched by Wockhardt Foundation, aligns with the mission of 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan', initiated by the Prime Minister of India. It focuses on addressing the hygiene and sanitation challenges faced by the population. Pronto Toilet recognizes that the lack of proper sanitation facilities goes beyond just a cleanliness issue. It directly impacts the health of individuals, especially children who fall ill due to the spread of germs from open defecation, leading to their absence from school and hindering their education. Moreover, many girls drop out of school due to the absence of adequate sanitation facilities. To address these challenges, Pronto Toilet undertakes the construction of individual sanitary latrines in schools and communities, contributing to the vision of a 'Clean India'. Additionally, the initiative aims to raise awareness among citizens about the crucial connection between sanitation and public health.
