Americares India observed the month of November as ‘Diabetes Awareness’ month with the aim to educate people on the causes, symptoms, and management of #diabetes . Our Mobile Health Centre team organized numerous engaging activities for the community members. This included street plays, rallies and educational sessions by our health facilitators. To make the sessions interesting and interactive, our team used the technique of storytelling for patients visiting the mobile health vans. People also took photos at the booth, proudly showcasing their attempt to control and manage diabetes. We witnessed participation from over 4000 people across 130 slum locations in Mumbai. Lancet calls diabetes the ‘defining disease of the century’ and the disease is on rapid rise among the urban poor too. Americares India is dedicatedly working with the communities on mobilization and encourage people to make lifestyle changes and adhere to prescribed medical intervention. #americaresindiafoundation #aif #mobilehealthcentre #mhc #worlddiabetesday #diabetesawareness #diabetesawarenessmonth

"We respond effectively and responsibily putting plans into practice" In the past 12 years, Amol has been deployed for more than 15 disaster responses. He would inform his family of his deployment plans and make sure that they are also ready for his short absence. In January 2024, he was deployed for Himachal Pradesh response, when his son had a medical emergency in Mumbai. The Americares India team sprung to action to help his family during this personal challenge. "Americares staff smoothly managed my child's hospitalization, insurance formalities in my absence. My wife also felt supported as office staff were there to accompany her during the treatment. My child was safe, while I was helping others." Health of Health workers is important and at Americares India we value this. Wellbeing (physical and mental) of responders and frontliners is foundational for humanitarian program to thrive. #MentalHealthMatters #WorkplaceWellbeing #responderwellbeing #staffcare

Over a 2-day workshop, doctors, nurses, drivers, and MHPSS counselors were introduced to SOGIESC concepts, equipping them to provide LGBTQ+ friendly primary care. Our goal is to ensure that the LGBTQ+ community receives the comprehensive care they need in the areas we serve..
