Since 2016, Mitsubishi Electric Automotive India Private Limited has been a vital partner in the Smile Foundation’s “Smile on Wheels” programme, significantly impacting the lives of underprivileged individuals in Manesar. This partnership has recently been renewed and expanded for the 2024-25 period, continuing to provide primary healthcare services to those in need.
The “Smile on Wheels” mobile medical unit, supported by Mitsubishi Electric, has reached over 30,000 people, offering primary healthcare directly to underserved communities. The unit regularly visits targeted locations, delivering necessary medical treatments and diagnosing a range of illnesses and diseases.
In addition to providing direct care, the project also focuses on raising health awareness. Through informative sessions, the initiative helps community members better understand health issues and encourages proactive health-seeking behaviours. This comprehensive approach aims to improve both immediate health outcomes and long-term wellness for the communities served.
With the support of Mitsubishi Electric, the Smile Foundation actively intervened in the lives of underprivileged individuals in specific areas of Manesar. Their primary focus was to address the healthcare needs of these individuals. From March 2022 to February 2023, Smile on Wheels (SoW) delivered essential healthcare services to the most marginalized sections of society.
SoW, a mobile medical unit, made regular visits to targeted locations, ensuring the provision of necessary healthcare treatments to the community. During these visits, community members received effective medical care, and individuals with various illnesses and diseases were diagnosed. In addition to curative services, Smile on Wheels placed significant emphasis on raising health awareness within the community. Through informative sessions, they aimed to enhance the community’s knowledge of health issues and promote better health-seeking behavior.
