Why Health Cannot Wait

Last mile delivery of healthcare is always challenging in a country as vast and diverse as India. The uneven distribution of healthcare infrastructure, as well as medical professionals, makes quality healthcare services inaccessible to a large population living in rural areas. Urban slum dwellers, on the other hand, suffer from lack of awareness, adverse living conditions and the unwillingness to lose a day’s wage in order to reach the nearest medical facility.

With an aim to strengthen the country’s existing healthcare system and reduce out-of-pocket expenses on health, Smile Foundation's ‘Health Cannot Wait’ initiative is taking quality healthcare services to the doorstep of vulnerable communities, with focus on women and children. Awareness activities like school health camps and street plays are also conducted to encourage children and community to adopt a health seeking behaviour.
