Primary Health Centre (PHC) Upgradation
Spherule Foundation enhances healthcare infrastructure at Primary Health Centres across multiple locations including Ghorpadi, Wanawadi, Punawale, and Dapodi in Pune. Our comprehensive upgradation projects include modernizing infrastructure, renovating consultation rooms, establishing well-equipped laboratories, and improving sanitation facilities. We add diagnostic equipment, essential medicines, and increase staff capacity to strengthen medical services. Patient-friendly environments are created through digital registration systems and improved waiting areas. Solar power systems ensure an uninterrupted electricity supply for facility sustainability. These interventions provide accessible, efficient, and quality healthcare at the grassroots level, directly benefiting thousands of community members. The upgrades align with government goals to strengthen primary healthcare and ensure timely treatment for all citizens in underserved areas.
Critical Care: ICU & NICU Development
Spherule strengthens critical care infrastructure across rural and semi-urban India through ICU and NICU establishment and upgradation. We’ve set up dedicated NICUs at hospitals like Samarpan Children’s Hospital in Osmanabad’s aspirational district, increasing capacity from 4 to 8 beds with advanced life-saving equipment. At Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Cantonment General Hospital in Pune, we established an 8-bedded NICU, while at Mai Mangeshkar Hospital, we upgraded ICU capacity from 8 to 23 beds with newer technology. At Maa Sharda Hospital in Vikarabad village, Telangana, we set up a 10-bedded ICU. These facilities provide near-cashless treatment and integrate government health schemes, benefiting marginalized communities. Our interventions have saved thousands of lives, providing tertiary level critical care to vulnerable populations.
Mobile Health Units
Our Mobile Health Unit brings essential healthcare directly to remote and underserved communities through dedicated medical vans. Operating in districts like Ropar, Punjab, the mobile unit provides general health check-ups, basic diagnostic tests, health awareness sessions, specialized health camps, counseling, and free medicine distribution. This initiative ensures timely and accessible medical care for populations with limited healthcare access, bridging critical gaps in rural healthcare delivery. The mobile approach eliminates travel barriers for vulnerable populations, particularly the elderly, women, and children. By reaching communities within their villages, we significantly improve health outcomes and well-being. The project has benefited over 5,000 individuals, providing preventive and curative care while building health awareness in underserved regions.
Health and Wellness Centres
We establish comprehensive Health and Wellness Centres that promote holistic health and fitness in communities. Our centres, located in places like Ropar, Punjab, are equipped with modern fitness facilities and guided by trained physiotherapists. These facilities offer opportunities for physical fitness, rehabilitation, and preventive care, combining professional health expertise with accessible infrastructure. The centres empower communities to embrace well-being, improve recovery outcomes, and build a culture of long-term health. Operating as General OPD and IPD facilities, centres like the Honda Health Centre in Naurangpur, Haryana, actively serve local populations with a 15-kilometer radius reach. Daily patient counts average 130, including specialized camps and community awareness sessions, creating sustainable health ecosystems benefiting over 96,000 individuals.
Maternal & Reproductive Health
Spherule addresses maternal and reproductive health through comprehensive programs including health camps, examinations, cancer screenings, and consultations. Our initiatives provide crucial medical services to adolescents and women of all ages, with timely referrals for specialized treatments. Programs like HEAL (Health Education and Awareness for Life) conduct tailored education sessions covering physical changes, body positivity, nutrition, and reproductive health. We facilitate open discussions normalizing critical topics while equipping women with essential health knowledge. Parent engagement sessions improve family communication and support. The Women’s Health and Livelihood Alliance (WoHLA) creates collaboration across the family planning ecosystem, delivering safe, accessible, and affordable sexual and reproductive health care. These interventions have reached thousands of women, fostering healthier, more resilient communities.
Child Nutrition Programs
Our nutrition programs address malnutrition, anemia, and vitamin deficiencies in children through innovative approaches. The Nutri Pathshala initiative integrates nutrition literacy with biofortified meals, distributing 336,000 mid-day meals to 7,000 students across 21 schools in Nuh, Haryana. Through components like Nutri Diary, Nutri Buddy, and Arogya Clubs, children actively learn about balanced diets, hygiene, and nutrition. Many become nutrition ambassadors, encouraging better food choices within families and communities. Poshan Maha covers 544 Anganwadis in Jaipur and Udaipur, providing proteins, vitamins, and minerals essential for physical and mental development. Health camps provide deworming and vitamin supplements to children and pregnant women. These programs improve brain development, concentration, learning ability, and overall child health across multiple states.
Sexual Health and Well-being
We address sexual health through awareness campaigns and workplace wellness programs like the UMMID Campaign on Fertility. This initiative disseminates accurate information about infertility, dispelling misconceptions and reducing stigma. Expert-led sessions cover stress management, lifestyle diseases, infertility causes and treatments, work-life balance, and nutrition under the theme “Commit to Fit: Focusing on a Healthier Family Tomorrow.” Conducted across corporate spaces in various cities, the program successfully breaks taboos surrounding reproductive health and encourages proactive health choices. By integrating healthcare education into workplaces, we build healthier, more supportive environments. The initiative has reached hundreds of beneficiaries, fostering awareness and creating open conversations about sexual and reproductive health that were previously considered taboo.
Mental Health and Well-being
Spherule implements targeted mental health programs focusing on adolescent well-being. Our Mental Health Project delivers sessions to adolescent girls in schools, distributing workbooks and assessing mental health status based on student responses. The project addresses critical mental health challenges through comprehensive education and community engagement, covering topics like emotional well-being, body positivity, and mental health awareness. We facilitate open discussions normalizing mental health topics and equip adolescents with essential life skills. The Recreational Center project in Bangalore prioritizes laborers’ mental health through sports, yoga, and de-addiction sessions. These initiatives promote mental well-being, provide supportive resources within communities, and have impacted thousands of beneficiaries, fostering healthier attitudes toward mental health.
Eye Care Programs
We conduct comprehensive eye health programs in Pune and surrounding rural areas, creating public awareness about cataracts and similar diseases. Our initiatives include eye check-up camps and surgical support for patients suffering from eye diseases. Through systematic screening and consultations, we identify individuals requiring treatment and provide necessary eye surgeries for the needy, particularly elderly citizens. Health camps offer examinations and timely referrals for specialized screenings and treatments, ensuring participants receive necessary follow-up care for identified health needs.
Health Check-ups for Auto and Truck Drivers
Recognizing occupational health hazards faced by transport workers, we conduct specialized health check-up programs for auto and truck drivers. Through mobilization at transport offices, petrol pumps, dhabas, hotels, market yards, and MNCs, we’ve registered over 4,000 truck drivers, successfully screening 1,454 using tools like Viator AI. Field executives counsel drivers overcoming fears about health testing, including AIDS screening. For auto drivers, we organize health camps addressing lifestyle-related occupational hazards and provide linkages with government hospitals for ongoing support. The program extends to drivers’ families with menstrual literacy sessions and distribution of organic sanitary pads, benefiting over 1,300 family members.
COVID-19 Response
Spherule mounted a comprehensive COVID-19 response addressing the pandemic’s multifaceted challenges. Our 700+ volunteers conducted massive awareness campaigns reaching 5 lakh people, spreading WHO and MoHFW guidelines across four states. We successfully vaccinated 3 lakh people aged 15-65+ and registered thousands on the CoWIN platform. The Honda Health Centre operated as a COVID isolation center during the second wave’s peak, later transitioning to a permanent health facility. We provided post-COVID treatment to 1,000 patients with screening, medicines, and nutrition support. Essential supplies including ration kits, hygiene kits, cooked food, water, PPE kits, masks, and face shields were distributed to 340,000 beneficiaries including migrant laborers and frontline workers. We achieved a Guinness World Record for the largest adolescent health awareness session, demonstrating our massive mobilization capability during national health crises.
