DISHA Foundation Welfare Society is also the discovery of self-realization, when found life is working on the other side, not in ‘me’, so started working for others. The foundation used the similar principles of library & information science for the execution of some its major programmes means work on “right kind of healthcare to right kind of patient at right kind of place and at right time” and like ‘Digital Doctor Visiting Home’. The main motto of the foundation is to make this world healthier and disease-free. The WHO says that there should be one doctor available for population of one thousand (1:1000) and in developing country like India, there is a big gap in this ratio i.e. 1:1676. Moreover, in villages where 68% of the population is living, this gap more widened (1:10000 or more). Only 2% of doctors are available in the villages of the country for 68% population. Hence, we decided to work in this direction to bridge the gap of accessibility and affordability of healthcare services in the country. DISHA started its first programme ‘Digital Doctor: A video consultancy platform’ for the people of remote and villages in February 2017 and within three months of its inception more than 300 people got free video consultancy along with free medicines. In 2018, the foundation ties with other NGOs working on the same lines viz. World Cancer Society, UK, Khalsa Aid, UK, Aas Welfare Society, Ferozepur, Radhey Krishna Dhaam , Faridkot and with Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, Faridkot and adopted an Indo-Pak border village ‘Rajjo -Ke -Gatti’ at District Ferozepur of Punjab. In addition to video-consultancy, direct benefits to the needy, organization of free medical check-up camps were started with free medicines distribution and major surgeries free on cost. More than1400 people got benefits from these kinds of initiatives of DISHA. We have a team of more than 70 people including specialist doctors, nurses, social workers, scientists, engineers, and volunteers. It is one step towards a disease-free world.
The main aim of the NGO is to make this world healthier and disease-free. Actually, we are interested in works toward the creation of World Digital Hospital with the support of health specialists all over the world, who will consent for this noble cause, so that people worldwide may get the benefits of this network. We have started development of mobile applications (apps) also to reach the doorsteps of needy people and it is in our plan that we will create more apps for the stakeholders to share an authentic and availability of more reliable information. We are inviting each and everyone to support an association with us voluntarily with their ideas and materials if any sothat we may reach on the next level of our objective .
