Bridging the Healthcare Gap through MID Anjuman Eye & Health Center

Jun 16, 2023

In the present landscape, where access to quality healthcare remains a privilege for many, the importance of social service initiatives in the field of healthcare cannot be overstated. A recent report by the UN highlights that five billion people risk missing out on health care in 2030. 

Organizations that dedicate themselves to bridging the healthcare gap are instrumental in creating a society where everyone has equal opportunities for a healthy life. As Albert Schweitzer famously expressed, “The purpose of human life is to serve and to show compassion and the will to help others.” These organizations work tirelessly to provide essential medical services, education, and resources to impoverished communities, ensuring no one is left behind. 

In this regard, Mahavir International Delhi (MID) has taken up this noble cause by establishing the MID Anjuman Eye & Health Center in collaboration with the Gyankunj Foundation and with the support of the SSS Foundation.

The Power of Collaboration in Aiding the Underprivileged

The successful inauguration of the “MID Anjuman Health and Eye Care Center” is a testament to the strength of collaboration and unity in pursuit of a noble cause. As famously quoted by Jimmy Carter, “The measure of a society is found in how they treat their weakest and most helpless citizens” – Mahavir International, Delhi, the Gyankunj Foundation, and the SSS Foundation have joined forces, bringing together their resources, expertise, and passion for creating a healthcare ecosystem that is inclusive and accessible to all.

This center has become a beacon of hope for underprivileged individuals, providing comprehensive eye care and health services to those in need. Through the tireless efforts of the MID Anjuman Health & Eye Care Center, individuals from underprivileged backgrounds now have access to thorough eye check-ups and surgeries.  

This initiative has successfully completed 230 OPD registrations and nine cataract surgeries this month alone, significantly improving the quality of life for those suffering from this condition. By extending these services to marginalized sections of society, MID fosters inclusivity and equal healthcare opportunities.

Empowering Women

The MID Anjuman Eye and Health Center, in collaboration with Gyankunj and the SSS Foundation, goes beyond eye care and health services. It aims to empower women by offering counseling services, pathological tests, the distribution of medicines, and guidance on menstrual hygiene and breastfeeding. 

This month, the center has provided awareness sessions on menstrual hygiene & breastfeeding to 107 girls and new mothers. By addressing the holistic needs of women, the center is making significant strides in enhancing the overall well-being of the community.

In a Nutshell

In the words of Mahatma Gandhi, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” This quote resonates deeply with the vision and mission of Mahavir International Delhi and its partners – Gyankunj and the SSS Foundation. Through their selfless service, the MID Anjuman Eye & Health Center is promoting a sense of community and compassion, ensuring that every individual has equal access.
