Health and nutrition stands an important pillar of Udaan. We aim to provide our services in healthcare and we have been doing it right from the inception with an undying spirit. With regular health-checkup camps we ensure that nobody is deprived of the basic health care necessities. Assurance of good-health is done by provision of proper nutrition which we are continuously doing by means of mid-day meal programmes, provision of food packets, grains and other commodities. We strongly believe that good health comes with intake of good nutrition and we have wholesomely blended the two concepts rightly.
Special immunisation, awareness and health-checkup camps are organised for children, women and senior citizens. Eye checkup, dental checkup, Anaemia checkup, Cancer checkup and many more camps are conducted in Saksham community center as Saksham has grown into a hub of medical care, with its team of specialised doctors in field of Dentistry, General practice, Internal Medicine (including Cardiology and diabetes), Gynaecology, Orthopaedics, Ophthalmology, Dermatology, Paediatrics and Homeopathy.
Nutritional standards of children have been checked and if found faulty, the need for dietary modifications had been recommended.
Timely checkups and immunisation prevents early detection and prevention of fatal diseases and disorders. Over 8000+ patients have benefited from our programs in the last four years itself. The regular camps have led to a renewed approach towards one’s health among the women, senior citizens of both privileged and underprivileged backgrounds.
Connected to the upkeep of a family, a woman often neglects her own health for the sake of her loved ones. Keeping this in mind, team Udaan’s activities for women revolve around inculcating in a woman, awareness about the need for her own upkeep and how it is beneficial to not just her but her entire family. Furthermore, from the year 2010, we have been organising regular mid-day meals for over 170 children at the institution, and we are proud that we have been able to bring about a significant positive difference in the health of these children.
