Healthcare and Hygiene
At SRK PureMed, we are driven by a deep commitment to the well-being of society. Guided by the vision of the SRK Knowledge Foundation (SRKKF), our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts focus on fostering positive and sustainable change in communities across the country.
SRKKF's initiatives are built on key pillars, each aimed at addressing crucial areas of social advancement and human development:
Promoting awareness, access, and assistance in healthcare services, we work to ensure healthier lives and better hygiene standards for communities.
Some of the our innitiatives are as follows
Objectives
To undertake a first of its kind population health study in India, encompassing socio-economic profiling, primary medical examination, and diagnostics that include vitals (temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure), dental examination, and hematological tests (RBS, cholesterol, serum creatinine, SGPT, thyroid hormones, etc.) in a laboratory (following NABL guidelines).
To provide treatment and medical/nursing assistance to the needy and organize referral and linkages for further treatment when required.
To create a cloud-based database for analysis and derivation of health indicators and live feeds using point-of-care devices into the population health platform for further expansion of the project to larger populations.
To commemorate the visit of the 11th President of India, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, in 2013, to the Shri Ramakrishna Export (SRK) Campus, Surat, a Health Project was envisaged wherein physical check-up and laboratory investigations, along with health parameters, would be carried out in the geographically challenged Saurashtra and other rural areas of Gujarat, in addition to embedding modern technology into social work. As on date, 1,12,225 people are already tested. Finding of above research project shared with Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) along with Health Policy Authority of State and Nation. To make an impact SRKKF has aligned itself to work on UN SDG Goal 3.
Summary of Kalam health project report
Cardiovascular disease risk factors, namely, hyperlipidaemia and Diabetes Mellitus, are similar in both, males and females, contrary to the normal notion that men are more prone to cardiovascular disease. The findings suggest that women need to be screened for CVD in a more effective manner to assess the burden of NCD in the community. Males are more prone to liver and kidney disorders, suggesting a lack of physical activity. Females are more prone to thyroid deficiency due to hormonal imbalances.
Anaemia continues to be the most serious health issue facing the community, which can be attributed to a lack of attention towards nutritional food intake amongst children and hormonal imbalances amongst women. This study confirms the prevalence and trends of abnormal ZPP and the response to iron therapy. The public health domain approach of treating anaemia as an iron deficiency issue is inadequate. A population health endocrinology study of middle-aged women is suggested.
The study demonstrated that deployment of IoT based medical devices for monitoring vital parameters gives the flexibility to have continuity in care for the people living in villages that are marked by the absence of effective primary care services.

Shree Ramkrishna Charitable P.S.H. Project center is established in 2002 and located in the premises of V.N Godhani English school with the staff of 9 people. They work under the guidance and banner of Gujarat State Aids Control Society (GSACS) and the District Aids Prevention and Control Unit (DAPCO), both of which are subsidiaries of the National Aids Control Program (NACP). Their main objective is to spread awareness about HIV and STDs among migrant workers. Migrant workers are mostly from the diamond and textile industry and are potential High risk behavior (HRB) groups as emulated by GSACS. However many of them are ignorant about HIV and how it can be prevented. The center tries to bridge this gap through various activities promotion, management of STDs, behavior change communication, enabling environment, referrals and linkages & community mobilization.
“Public awareness refers to the important role that community enthusiasm and knowledge has in building sustainable societies. Delivering knowledge to remote communities requires strategies for effective communication”.
Every year SRKKF team up with Nanduba Medical Centre to battle the various health issues faced by the tribal communities under this initiative. Since nearly 30 years, we have donated items of clothing, toys, food packets, and various other essential materials. Special disease diagnostic camps and free distribution of medicines are also carried out.
For all SRK family members, Medical camps are organized three to four times a year for the diagnosis of diseases and distribution of medicines (which includes eye check-up for diagnosis and surgical correction of cataract and diabetes diagnosis and treatment).
Shree Ramkrishna Knowledge Foundation (SRKKF), Surat and The Gujarat Cancer & Research Institute (GCRI), Ahmedabad jointly organized an Early Detection Cancer Camp for local residents at Lathi Taluka in Amreli District of Gujarat at 'Lalji Dadano Vadlo' managed by Santokba Medical Centre on 16th June, 2019. The cancer camp aimed to spread awareness, diagnose and offer treatment of Breast Cancer, Cervical Cancer and Oral Cancer to the villagers of Lathi; Govind Dholakia’s native place. Early cancer detection would help in suspecting the presence of cancer bacteria from the bodies of the patients. More than 140 patients were examined and 34 patients who have been held doubtful of having symptoms of cancer are been taken for further treatment.
Govind Dholakia being a true humanitarian believes that every life is precious. Through this initiative, if even one person’s life is saved, we would be successful in saving an entire family.
