Fusion Micro Finance, India’s second largest NBFC-MFI, providing underprivileged women with economic opportunities, organized health check-up camp in collaboration with Netram Eye Foundation NGO in Banswara, Rajasthan. 110 people from nearby villages attended the
camp and received free health check-ups and doctor consultations. There were 2 gynecologists and 1 general physician present at the camp and conducted tests for blood pressure, hemoglobin, and diabetes and distributed free medicines.
Rural India is still devoid of conventional healthcare services and medical infrastructure, forcing people to travel long distances for medical care. The health camps organized by Fusion Micro Finance are an effort towards offering access to primary healthcare in the remotest of villages across India.
Mr. Pradeep Pachauri, Regional Manager, Fusion Micro Finance said, “The rural population struggles to get the necessary medical care in these places, and access to primary healthcare is limited. We have been organizing these health camps and making free medical care easily accessible to rural people. 110 people who came in for checkups today, including women, kids, and senior citizens, benefited from the initiative. We hope that these activities will benefit the underprivileged society and contribute to its development.”
Chief Guests present at the health camp include Vinita Trivedi (Health Manager, Government District Hospital), Jinendra Trivedi (Mahapaur, Banswara), Dr. B.S. Shekhawat. The guests appreciated the efforts of Fusion Micro Finance for working towards women’s health issues. Fusion members Sandeep Srivastava (AVP), Pradeep Pachauri (Regional Manager), Yogesh Parashar (Divisional Manager), Sunil Sharma (Area Manager), Rahul Jayaswal (Branch Manager), Ashutosh Srimali (Admin) and other branch staff were present at the event to ensure smooth functioning.
Fusion Micro Finance organizes regular healthcare programs like Project Ojas: An eye-care initiative, menstrual hygiene management, covid vaccination program, wheelchair distribution program etc.
During FY 22-23, Fusion covered over 2,600 people in 16 health camps across 13 states of India.
