At Asif Jahan Foundation, we are committed to improving the health and well-being of women across Mumbai. In a city as dynamic as Mumbai, women face unique challenges in accessing nutrition and healthcare services. Our mission is to bridge these gaps, empower women with knowledge and resources, and create healthier communities.
Healthcare access in Mumbai can often be hindered by financial, logistical, and cultural barriers. Asif Jahan Foundation collaborates with healthcare providers and community organizations to ensure women receive essential medical care, including:
- Prenatal and Postpartum Care: Supporting expectant mothers with access to quality prenatal care and safe childbirth facilities.
- Preventive Screenings: Organizing health camps for early detection of conditions like anaemia and malnutrition.
- Mobile Health Clinics: Bringing healthcare to underserved areas of Mumbai, such as Dharavi and Mankhurd, through mobile units equipped with modern facilities.
Anaemia and malnutrition remain prevalent issues in Mumbai, especially in low-income areas. Asif Jahan Foundation addresses these through targeted interventions:
- Nutritional Awareness: Conducting workshops to educate women and adolescent girls about balanced diets and iron-rich foods.
- Supplement Distribution: Providing iron and folic acid supplements to vulnerable women in collaboration with local health authorities.
- Community Nutrition Gardens: Partnering with local women to establish urban nutrition gardens in underutilized spaces, empowering them to grow fresh, organic produce for their families and communities.
With a focus on innovation, Asif Jahan Foundation uses tech-enabled solutions to improve maternal and neonatal outcomes:
- Digital Health Records: Ensuring seamless care for expectant mothers through digital tracking of health records.
- Health Apps for Monitoring: Training healthcare workers in using apps that monitor high-risk pregnancies and provide timely alerts for complications.
Priya, a young mother from Chembur, lacked access to prenatal care due to financial constraints. With support from Asif Jahan Foundation’s mobile health clinics, she received regular checkups and nutrition supplements during her pregnancy. Today, she and her newborn are thriving, and Priya actively advocates for maternal health in her community.
Reshma, a resident of Dharavi, transformed a small patch of unused land into a thriving nutrition garden with Asif Jahan Foundation’s guidance. Her garden now provides fresh vegetables for her family and neighbors, helping reduce malnutrition in the area.
We partner with leading organizations and local health authorities to amplify our impact in the city. By combining resources, expertise, and innovative approaches, we ensure that no woman is left behind in accessing quality healthcare.
