The project is a vital part of the government’s vision of “Swasth Uttarakhand, Samriddh Uttarakhand”, and will contribute to strengthening last-mile healthcare delivery.

This deployment is part of REC Foundation’s wider initiative titled ‘Doctor Aapke Dwaar’, which is already operational through Mobile Health Clinics in other states including Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Tamil Nadu, and Punjab. REC Limited remains steadfast in its mission to bridge the rural healthcare gap and empower lives through sustainable and impactful social responsibility initiatives.
