In a major outreach scheme to protect Mumbai’s vulnerable

Govandi and Bhandup.
Sir H N Reliance Foundation Hospital is deploying a state-of-the-art mobile vehicle unit to

HN Reliance Foundation Hospital’s regular health outreach initiatives in Mumbai, which
address primary and preventive healthcare needs of vulnerable populations through mobile
medical vans and static medical units. This vaccination programme will be carried out over
the next three months and is part of Reliance Foundation’s Mission Vaccine Suraksha
initiative which will also provide vaccination for underprivileged communities around the
country over the next few months.
Smt Nita M Ambani, Founder and Chairperson, Reliance Foundation said: “Reliance
Foundation has stood by the nation at every step of this relentless fight against the COVID19 pandemic. Mass vaccination is now the single biggest weapon to protect people from the
virus. We are committed to doing everything we can to ensure that every single Indian has
access to vaccination as quickly and efficiently as possible. I am confident that together we
will rise above this challenging period and good times will be upon us again.”
