The Hans Foundation (THF), established in 2009, is a Public Charitable Trust that works towards creating an equitable society to enhance quality of life for all through the empowerment of marginalized and underprivileged communities in India. The Hans Foundation works for the Health and Wellbeing of remote and under-served groups, with an additional focus on children, persons with disabilities and women. THF also works for holistic Education and Livelihood development of our communities. Our Two-Fold Strategy involves identifying and working within Aspirational Districts and high poverty index in the North, North-East and East regions within specific states, as well as catering to lower-income and migratory populations in cities, through urban programs.

Over its 15 years of existence, THF has reached more than 35 million beneficiaries through its programs. THF works with communities through direct implementation of projects on the ground in addition to providing local management and monitoring support to not-for-profit organisations in India funded through THF USA and RIST.

India's healthcare faces rising costs and chronic disease prevalence, with rural areas being significantly underserved. To address these disparities, innovative solutions like Mobile Medical Units (MMUs) are crucial.

MMUs help reduce health disparities by providing urgent care, preventative screenings, and chronic disease management directly in communities. They leverage local assets to offer tailored, affordable healthcare, adapting to community needs.

The Hans Foundation's MMUs reach underdeveloped and inaccessible areas, providing quality primary healthcare and increasing health awareness. Currently, they operate in Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Assam.

Each MMU team includes an MBBS Doctor, a SPO, a Pharmacist, a Lab Technician, and a Driver, supported by village-level Health Workers. This approach ensures comprehensive healthcare delivery at the grassroots level.

By implementing MMUs, The Hans Foundation aims to provide equitable and accessible healthcare to underserved rural populations in India.
