Lung Care Foundation

A Lung Health check-up camp was organized in Bhalswa region, targeting residents exposed to toxic fumes from the nearby landfill. The air quality in this area far exceeds WHO standards due to unsegregated dumping of domestic and industrial waste, often leading to hazardous fires. Primarily comprising migrants, notably from Bihar, UP, and Bengal, the local population relies on waste picking as their main source of income, despite facing health risks from prolonged exposure without protective gear. The camp aimed to raise awareness about respiratory health, provide screening for lung diseases, and offer post-evaluation guidance. With support from DCM Shriram Industries Ltd. and Chintan, the camp witnessed significant participation, with 223 individuals registered across two days.

On Sunday, 23rd October 2016, a Lung Awareness Camp was held at MCD School Shalimar in New Delhi, aimed at educating approximately 350 fifth-grade students about lung health. Employing a unique and interactive approach, the program sought to transform these students into Lung Care Friends. Through engaging activities and informative sessions, the initiative aimed to instill a sense of responsibility and awareness regarding lung care among the young participants, fostering a proactive attitude towards their own health and well-being.
