Despite being one of the largest exporters of pharmaceuticals, India continues to harbor healthcare issues especially among rural communities. With incidences of disease appearing to be twice in rural areas as compared to its urban counterpart, the people of rural India are denied access to basic and apt healthcare.
Waterborne diseases such as diarrhea, malaria, typhoid, hepatitis, worm infestations, measles, tuberculosis, whooping cough, pneumonia, respiratory infections, and reproductive tract infections dominate the morbidity patterns in rural areas. Moreover, non-communicable diseases such as cancer, blindness, hypertension, diabetes, HIV/AIDS are simultaneously proliferating at an alarming rate. Seeking answers to some long-standing problems and realising the need to improve the prevailing health status in rural areas nationwide is Ponty Chadha Foundation, the CSR arm of the Wave Group, which has been making efforts to plug some of the known gaps to rural healthcare. In collaboration with a reputed healthcare service provider, the Indo German Hospital, the Foundation has been bringing the poor and marginalised to the centre of healthcare policies.
The Foundation has already covered several villages including—Gujjargarhi, Dinanathpur, Shadipur Chiddoli, Hathipur, Mehrauli, Shekhpur and Khichra, where it conducted health camps to boost the quality of life of its beneficiaries.

Health Camp Observations:

- A major chunk of womenfolk overlook their reproductive health due to sheer negligence or lack of family support.
- Majority of them overlook health concerns either due to utter ignorance or lack of healthcare facilities.
