Project Ayushsandra

A Community-Centered Preventive Health & Wellness Initiative

Purpose & Vision

Project Ayushsandra is a holistic health and wellness initiative of The HAIF, designed to strengthen preventive healthcare, early diagnosis, and health awareness among underserved rural and semi-urban communities.

The project responds to the growing burden of non-communicable diseases, vision problems, lifestyle-related illnesses, and lack of access to regular medical services, especially in areas where healthcare facilities are limited or inconsistent.

Ayushsandra aims to bridge the gap between communities and essential healthcare by promoting early detection, timely intervention, and health-conscious living, ensuring that health support reaches people before conditions become critical.

Key Focus Areas

Regular health check-ups to detect common and chronic conditions at an early stage

Vision & Eye Health

Women's Health Awareness

Focused sessions on critical health issues such as cancer, nutrition, and reproductive health
