Purna Swasthaya Foundation has made significant strides in the fight against diseases and in empowering women:
The foundation has successfully screened thousands of individuals using POCT devices, leading to early detection and management of diseases. This has resulted in a significant increase in the number of patients referred to district hospitals at an early stage, reducing complications and healthcare costs.
The foundation has trained and employed numerous women in various roles, from community outreach to administrative positions. This has not only increased health literacy among women but also empowered them to make informed health decisions for themselves and their families.
Through successful health camps, workshops, and collaborations with schools and workplaces, the foundation has reached a large number of individuals across various communities. These efforts have promoted healthy lifestyle choices and raised awareness about the importance of diseases prevention.
The foundation continues to invest in research and development to improve existing POCT devices and develop new screening tools. It also utilizes digital health platforms to track patient outcomes and streamline referral processes, ensuring continuous improvement in service delivery.
“Digital transformations call for a new understanding of the concepts of public health and universal health coverage (UHC), which reflect the extent to which digital technologies are changing notions of health and wellbeing and offering new tools through which public health goals can be achieved.”
