Pune (India CSR): Inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, Quick Heal, the leading cybersecurity service provider through its CSR initiative donated โArogya Yanโ, a fully equipped medical van, to the rural community in Barpeta, Assam.
In collaboration with Srijan Ek Soch, a local NGO, this initiative aims at making basic treatment and necessary testing accessible for the marginalized. The special handing over ceremony was attended by Aayush Garg, IAS, Barpeta, Mrs. Anupama Katkar, Chairperson, Quick Heal Foundation along with the guest of honor, Mr. Bikram Jyoti Das, a visually-impaired mountaineer who recently climbed atop Mount Everest.
This state-of-the-art fully equipped medical van enables more than 20,000 people, who earlier walked between 10-30 kms to access primary healthcare amenities, at their doorsteps. This service is further expected to spread awareness amongst the beneficiaries around the various government schemes that aim at promoting public welfare and better health.
Present on the occasion, Anupama Katkar, Chairperson Quick Heal Foundation and Chief of Operational Excellence, Quick Heal Technologies Limited, said, โQuick Healโs CSR mission โSecuring Futuresโ is one that is both forward-looking, and sustainable. Arogya Yan is our endeavor to reaching those who are miles away from receiving proper medical treatment at the time of need. Our state-of-the-art fully equipped medical vans cover more than 450 villages across 7 states touching more than 3.5 lakh people. And, through this contribution in Barpeta, Assam, we are delighted to have enabled 20,000 people of these remote villages to access quality primary healthcare services at their doorsteps.โ
The vans are further built to be healthcare platforms manned by the paramedic staff to go into the most vulnerable sections of society, which any medical facility has never reached.
