New Delhi [India], August 30: Dr. Chandril Chugh and Dr. Nivedita Pandey, founders of the Dr. Good Deed Foundation are receiving widespread acclaim for their unwavering and visionary dedication to revolutionising healthcare in rural India. Since their return to India in 2016, the foundation has made significant strides in bridging the critical and persistent healthcare gap affecting underserved communities.
A Mission Born from a Personal Experience
Established in 2017, the Dr. Good Deed Foundation emerged from a profound personal incident that highlighted the urgent need for accessible and reliable healthcare. After witnessing a sweeper being misdiagnosed and burdened with a Rs50,000 ICU bill, Dr. Chugh and Dr. Pandey were driven to make a difference. This incident catalysed their mission to address healthcare disparities and improve services for those in need.
Innovative Solutions and Impactful Work
The foundation's innovative approach includes:
* Teleclinics in Bihar: By leveraging technology through platforms like Skype and WhatsApp, the foundation has set up teleclinics in remote regions of Bihar. This initiative has enabled hundreds of patients to receive timely medical consultations and care.
* Monthly Free Clinics: Regular free clinics and awareness campaigns are organised to provide essential medical services without financial strain.
* Health Camps: The foundation conducts health camps and educational events for local communities, including the railway police force and schools, offering free check-ups and health education.
* Specialised Services: Two physical clinics in Patna provide affordable healthcare services, including specialised neurology and gastroenterology care for conditions such as epilepsy, paralysis, and gastrointestinal issues.
* Low-Cost Ambulance Service: A low-cost ambulance service addresses transportation challenges, ensuring timely and affordable patient movement across Bihar.
