Healthcare & Social Welfare
The Foundation works to bring essential healthcare closer to rural families while providing practical and compassionate support during important and difficult moments in their lives.
Through hospital services, medical outreach, eye care, patient assistance, group weddings and community-support programmes, the Foundation seeks to protect both wellbeing and dignity.
Our Approach
The Foundation’s healthcare and social-welfare work is guided by a shared understanding: people often require more than one form of support.
A health condition may affect a family’s income, mobility and emotional wellbeing. A major life event may create financial and social pressure. Seasonal hardship may increase existing vulnerabilities.
The Foundation therefore works across both healthcare and social support — bringing medical services closer to rural communities while also responding to practical family and household needs.
Its approach is based on continuity, respect and direct engagement with the communities it serves.
“Care becomes meaningful when it is accessible, practical and respectful.”
Two Dimensions of Community Wellbeing
Bringing institutional care, medical outreach, eye care, ambulance access, medicines and preventive-health support closer to rural families.
Supporting individuals and families through group weddings, household assistance, essential-material distribution and practical help during times of need.
Accessible Healthcare
Access to timely healthcare can be difficult when distance, cost, awareness and limited local services stand between families and treatment.
The Foundation’s healthcare work seeks to reduce these barriers through institutional care, village outreach, medical camps, eye-care support, ambulance access and assistance with medicines.
The objective is not to make exaggerated claims about medical outcomes. It is to provide practical, compassionate and sustained support that helps people access care when it is needed.
Medical Camps & Village Outreach
The Pt. Kanhaiya Lal Dayawanti Punj Foundation, in collaboration with the Impact Guru Foundation (IGF), launched the Care on Wheels (COW) – Sitamarhi Project on 18 November 2022. The initiative aims to make essential primary healthcare services accessible to people living in rural and underserved communities.
Through a dedicated mobile healthcare team, the project provides regular medical consultations, basic diagnostic services, medicines, health education, preventive healthcare, and community outreach across 12 villages.
The Care on Wheels project is managed by a four-member team:
In addition to village outreach, the team provides one hour of daily OPD services from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM at the Dayawanti Punj Model School campus.
Regular OPD services run Monday to Friday. Every Saturday, the team undertakes community health activities:
Health Awareness Programmes
Community sessions on disease prevention, hygiene, nutrition, and healthy lifestyle practices.
Sanitary Pad Distribution & Menstrual Hygiene Management
Sanitary pads distributed in government schools and Dayawanti Punj Model School with awareness sessions.
General Health Camps
Health camps organised at locations such as police stations and old age homes.
Rakt Sanjeevani – Anemia Mukt Bharat Camps
Special camps focused on screening, awareness, and prevention of anaemia.
The Care on Wheels team follows a structured weekly schedule across all 12 villages:
| Day | Villages Covered |
|---|---|
| Monday | Chhachhua and Kundikala |
| Tuesday | Bhiti, Aura, and Pure Mathuradas |
| Wednesday | Deegh and Jhariharpur |
| Thursday | Sarai Jagdish, Sadashiv Patti, and Nibiha |
| Friday | Semradh and Inargaon |

Basic health screening and diagnostics for early risk identification:

Supplementary health, nutrition, and personal hygiene support featuring items such as:
Understanding local healthcare needs and selecting outreach locations across 12 villages.
Bringing doctors, screening, and basic consultation closer to the community.
Guiding patients who may require further diagnosis or institutional care.
Maintaining contact and tracking patient recovery as part of the programme.
Ambulance and Access Support
For rural families, access to transport can influence whether medical care is reached in time.
Through emergency transport and patient-access support linked with Pt. Kanahya Lal Punj Hospital and the Foundation's outreach networks, emergency conveyance assistance helps bridge the gap between remote rural areas and urgent medical attention.
Health Awareness
Preventive healthcare and community awareness can help families recognise risks, seek timely advice and make informed decisions.
Through community outreach programs and health education initiatives led by the Foundation, awareness sessions equip rural families with vital knowledge to maintain long-term wellness.
Hygiene and sanitation (Community cleanliness and preventive hygiene education)
Nutrition (Promoting balanced diet and nutritional awareness for rural families)
Women’s health (Specialized health camps and awareness sessions for women)
Maternal and child wellbeing (Guidance for expectant mothers and child health tracking)
Seasonal health awareness (Preventive measures against seasonal illnesses and outbreaks)
General screening (Vital checks, routine blood pressure, and preliminary health evaluations)
