Amar Ujala Foundation organized Free Health Check-up Camps under the ‘स्वस्थ शरीर सुरक्षित जीवन’ program. These camps are organized in collaboration with local government and renowned private hospitals at various locations in remote areas of its coverage so far with medicines apart from expert medical advice.
It is a special initiative of AUF to provide free healthcare services through standalone camps to meet the immediate health care needs of the marginalized communities in remote rural areas.
AUF has been organizing free health check-up camps since 2013 in remote villages in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Haryana. AUF aims to provide comprehensive health services - curative, preventive, promotive, and referral, to a large number of people in selected areas.
Senior doctors from local government hospitals and some renowned doctors from private hospitals examine the residents of these villages.
Amar Ujala Foundation has always been initiating ‘Raktdaan-Mahadaan’ -the blood donation drive since many years and breaking records. The team works round-the-clock by ensuring every drop of blood contributes towards the right cause of saving lives. Every year, all the units of blood collected are sent to Government Blood Banks associated with local District Hospitals, where maximum numbers of patients getting operated are from below poverty line. During the pandemic, blood banks were struggling to cope up with the unforeseen challenges. The campaign was initiated to help the nation with blood donation drive. Amar Ujala Foundation has not only given new hope of life to those who needed blood, but also given a chance to many, to contribute meaningfully to the society.
AUF has been organizing such blood donation camps at high frequency at various locations across all the Amar Ujala units and, also touched villages and people of the village also take part in these blood donation camps. Special blood donation drives on the occasion of ‘World Blood Donors Day’- 14th June, ‘Kargil Vijay Diwas’ – 26th July and ‘National Voluntary Blood Donation Day’- 1st October are also organized.
