HEALTH AND SANITATION
#MedLifeWhatWeDo
We at Medlife Foundation understand the importance of preventive health measures in maintaining the well-being of marginalized and underprivileged communities in Maharashtra. One of the ways we work towards this goal is by organizing health check-up camps for the communities. Our preventive health check-up camps are designed to reach individuals who may not have access to primary healthcare services. This is in accordance with the UN SDG 3 which ensures good health and wellbeing for a people.
