Why India Still Needs Free Health Care for Children
Despite advancements, the healthcare crisis for children in India remains alarming. Consider these hard truths
- Over 800,000 children under age 5 die annually from preventable illnesses.
- 1 in 3 children is malnourished or underweight.
- Millions miss essential vaccinations like polio, DPT, and measles.
- Rural kids often walk 10+ km to the nearest clinic—if it exists.
- Children in Delhi’s slums face daily threats from pollution, open sewage, and untreated infections.
We cannot accept this as normal. With your donation for child health, we can offer more than hope—we can offer real medical help.
Free Child Health Camps
We organize mobile health camps in slum clusters, remote villages, and urban low-income areas.
Children receive:
- Basic physical check ups
- Medicines for cough, infections, fever, and wounds
- Growth assessments
- Referrals to partner hospitals when needed
Each camp serves patient, bringing doctors where no clinics exist.
Vaccination Support Drives
Lack of awareness and affordability cause millions of Indian children to miss life-saving vaccines.
- We work with local authorities and child welfare bodies to:
- Distribute vaccines (MMR, Polio, DPT, Hepatitis, BCG)
- Monitor follow-up schedules
- Educate families on vaccine importance
- Conduct immunization camps in schools and anganwadis
Your donation ensures no child is left vulnerable to preventable diseases.

Examples of specific medicines include chemotherapy drugs like cytarabine, targeted drugs like blinatumomab, and a variety of others depending on the specific cancer type, such as cisplatin, carboplatin, and etoposide.
Types of medication
