REC Limited Provides 5 Mobile Medical Units for women’s healthcare under Doctor Aapke Dwaar CSR Initiative in Uttarakhand for Rs. 6.01 Crore

REC Limited, a Maharatna CPSE under the Ministry of Power and a leading NBFC, has extended financial support of Rs. 6.01 crore under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives for the procurement and operation of five Mobile Medical Units (MMUs) in the state of Uttarakhand.

The initiative was inaugurated by Shri Pushkar Singh Dhami, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, in the presence of Shri Dhan Singh Rawat, Hon’ble Health Minister of Uttarakhand; Dr. Rajesh Kumar, Secretary, Health Department; Dr. Sunita Tamta, Director General Health; Shri Sunil Bisht, CPM, REC RO Dehradun; Shri Jha, COO, CSC Academy, and other senior officials from REC and CSC Academy.

The MMUs, deployed in partnership with CSC Academy, will operate across three districts — Haridwar (2 units), Udham Singh Nagar (2 units), and Tehri Garhwal (1 unit) — with a special focus on remote and underserved communities. Outfitted with essential diagnostic and treatment facilities, these units will operate six days a week and are designed to provide free primary healthcare services at the doorsteps of marginalized populations.

In a unique step towards gender-sensitive care, one of the five MMUs is exclusively dedicated to women’s healthcare and will be staffed entirely by female medical professionals. This Women’s Mobile Medical Unit aims to address the specific health needs of women in conservative and hard-to-reach regions.

The MMUs will function in close coordination with the Chief Medical Officers (CMOs) and the Uttarakhand State Health Department, ensuring alignment with government healthcare strategies and continuity of care. 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.
