Why Yogadhya exists
Project Yogadhya is a community-based preventive health programme run by Sarva JeevanSeva Foundation in Palghar district, Maharashtra, India. In Phase I ( to ) it held 14 camps and reached 2,461+ people with free check-ups, diagnostics, eye care and blood donation drives.
In Palghar's villages and tribal hamlets, preventive care is far away and illness is often caught late. Every monsoon, dengue, malaria and other fevers make it worse.
Yogadhya takes the doctor, the lab and the awareness session to the community, so problems are found early and people know where to go next.
