Hyundai Motor India Foundation (HMIF), the CSR arm of Hyundai Motor India (HMIL), inaugurated 10 telemedicine centres, and launched four mobile medical units under its Sparsh Sanjeevani healthcare initiative, covering four states and two union territories across India. Notably, these healthcare services will now provide easy and quality healthcare services at some of the highest altitudes in India, covering remote and harsh terrains of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh regions, ensuring access to primary healthcare in some of the most challenging geographies of the world.
Five telemedicine centres have been inaugurated in Bhalla & Doda (Jammu & Kashmir), Kargil, Drass & Kharu (Ladakh); five have been initiated in Banikhet Jarei & Mehla (Chamba); Mandhala, Kunihar & Domehar (Solan), Himachal Pradesh and four mobile medical units are to be deployed across Panipat in Haryana, Narmada in Gujarat, Moga in Punjab, and Baramulla in Jammu & Kashmir.
The telemedicine centres and mobile medical units were inaugurated by Prataprao Jadhav, Union Minister of State - Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, at a special event held at the India Habitat Centre in Delhi.
As part of this initiative, the telemedicine centres and mobile medical units will provide essential medical consultation and healthcare services, bridging the gap between healthcare providers and patients in remote and rural regions across the country. With these new additions to the Sparsh Sanjeevani program, HMIF will now operate 50 telemedicine centres and 10 mobile medical units across India, catering to a rural population of over 1.3 million nationwide.
Commenting on the inauguration of the telemedicine centres and mobile medical units, Puneet Anand, Vertical Head - Corporate Communication & Social, HMIL said, “Good health is the cornerstone of holistic development. Aligned with Hyundai’s global vision of ‘Progress for Humanity,’ HMIF's Sparsh Sanjeevani program is dedicated to making a meaningful impact in the lives of people in remote and underserved areas in Bharat. By extending our reach to the highest union territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh among other states, the new telemedicine centres will ensure access to essential medical consultations and healthcare services to communities living in the most challenging terrains. The specially designed Hyundai Mighty vans that have been transformed into fully equipped mobile medical units, will travel across remote areas, providing proactive diagnostics and medical consultation directly to those who need it the most.”
Flagging-off the next phase of the Sparsh Sanjeevani initiative, Jadhav expressed his appreciation saying, “I wholeheartedly commend Hyundai Motor India Foundation, TSL Foundation and Karma Healthcare for their dedication to enhancing the well-being of our citizens through this worthy CSR initiative. The introduction of these telemedicine centres and mobile medical units is a significant step towards bridging the healthcare gap in remote areas, providing vital medical services and diagnostics directly to those who may otherwise need to travel long distances to avail healthcare facilities. I am confident this initiative will make a lasting impact on the lives of many.”
