Project Description
WHAT DOES THE FOUNDATION DO?
- Most prisons in the country are overcrowded that leads to unhygienic living conditions
- Multiple skin related ailments are prevalent over there due to unhygienic conditions & overcrowding
- The Foundation provides skin care services to the prisoners by organising skin care camps through skin specialists
- A patient is monitored and is given necessary medicines until the treatment is complete
- The first skin treatment camp was organised in Arthur Road Jail, Mumbai in 2016.
HOW IT STARTED?
After successful outcomes of the Eye Camps in prisons, Dr Rajendra Dhamne, the DIG – Central Prisons Maharashtra, brought to the Foundation’s attention the need of skin care services for the inmates. Skin related ailments were prevalent due to unhygienic conditions and overcrowding of these prisons. The team realised that this was an extension of healthcare activity in prison. A detailed plan was prepared to enlist specialist doctors in all regions. The activity was duly rolled out in 2016 in Mumbai.
