Procter & Gamble Health announced its collaboration with HelpAge India to launch a New Mobile Healthcare Unit (MHU) in Palghar district of Maharashtra.
Milind Thatte, MD, Procter & Gamble Health, said “P&G Health is committed to contributing towards building a healthier India through our flagship CSR Initiative, SEHAT. Through our continued collaboration with HelpAge India, we have been working towards bringing healthcare services to the doorstep of elderly and underserved communities since 2020. Supported by P&G Health and run by HelpAge India, the new MHU at Palghar will bring primary healthcare services to the doorstep of the tribal community across Palghar’s 19 villages. With a full-time doctor, pharmacist and basic diagnostic equipment, the new MHU will offer free consultations, medication, counselling and screening services along with facilitating timely referrals to primary health centres.”
“We are pleased to be a long-standing partner to P&G Health’s SEHAT CSR Initiative with its vision to make a meaningful impact on Public Health at the grassroots. For tribal communities residing in remote areas, accessing quality healthcare services is often a challenge leading to delayed diagnoses and treatment. With our new MHU in collaboration with P&G Health, we aim to help bridge these challenges by providing healthcare services at the doorstep of over 20000 members of the underserved tribal community residing in Palghar,” said Rohit Prasad, CEO, HelpAge India.
