The Ponty Chadha Foundation held over 15 health camps in remote villages and construction sites near WAVE City and Sun City in Ghaziabad over 3 months in 2018. These camps provided free medical checkups, diagnosis, treatment, and medication to over 2000 patients, with an average of 150 patients per camp. The camps focused on primary healthcare, women's health, and creating health awareness. A team of doctors from Indo German Hospital treated patients for common ailments like joint pain, digestive issues, respiratory problems, and anemia.

“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is ‘what are you doing for others?’” – Martin Luther
King Jr.
Inculcating this thought, The Ponty Chadha Foundation, a CSR initiative by The Wave Group is
continuously working towards the betterment of the underprivileged sections of the society. In its
series of social welfare drives, PCF regularly organises preventive health check camps in various
villages and construction labour settlements of WAVE City and Sun City in Ghaziabad. More than
15 health camps were held during the first 3 months of 2018, in remote villages like Usman
Garhi, Bamheta, Chhidoli, Bhor Garhi, Duajan, Kazipura, and various construction sites where
majority of the people are deprived of even the basic medical facilities.
With the underlying objectives of providing primary curative healthcare services, creating general
healthcare awareness and counselling women on reproductive and child health practices, these
health camps have diagnosed and treated thousands of patients with an average of 150+
patients per camp.
Out of the total patients treated at the camp, more than 50% were women, around 15% men and
30% children. These health camps were set up in schools, temples and other common areas of
the villages.
2. To make sure that all the patients get first-class consultation and holistic healthcare, a team of
doctors from the Indo German Hospital were appointed for these camps. Apart from the
specialists, the staff also included paramedics and medical dispensing staff. The primary
responsibility of the staff was to assist the doctors while performing the initial tests on the
patients for hypertension, diabetes, checking pulse rate, blood pressure, weight, etc. These
health check camps threw light on some common medical conditions diagnosed across the
villages. These conditions included joint pain, gastrointestinal problems, respiratory system
disorders, UTI, anaemia, and haemoglobin deficiency. All these patients diagnosed with various
health conditions were provided with free consultations, followed by free medication.
PCF has been extending much-needed compassion, care and basic privileges to the lesser
privileged sections of the society for years. Healthcare is one of the key areas that needs a direct
focus from the government as well as corporate India, if we want to uplift our nation. With these
health check camps, The Ponty Chadha Foundation is doing its part in contributing to the society,
and in doing so, it inspires other successful brands to do the same. It’s time we all come forward
and reach out to the people who can’t get the basic amenities on their own. Because we believe
that a nation is as progressive and prosperous as its citizens.
