Smile Foundation delivers 2 million healthcare treatments in a year
From the high-altitude villages of Ladakh to the desert communities of Jaisalmer, from the river islands of the Brahmaputra to dense urban settlements, Smile Foundation has reached the milestone of delivering 2 million (20 lakh) healthcare treatments in the financial year 2025–26 through its integrated community healthcare initiatives.
Since its community healthcare programme began in 2006, Smile Foundation has provided care to more than 7 million people cumulatively. In a country where last-mile healthcare is shaped by geographic complexity, socio-economic barriers and an uneven distribution of medical services, Smile Foundation has developed one of India’s most adaptive and community-focused primary healthcare delivery models.
At present, 143 healthcare projects are operational across India. These include 124 Mobile Medical Units (MMUs), six static clinics, six Mobile Telemedicine Units (MTUs), two Mobile Dental Units (MDUs), four Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health + Nutrition (RMNCAH+N) projects, and one Boat Clinic.
Operating across 90 districts, including 22 Aspirational Districts in 22 states, Smile Foundation’s healthcare programme aligns closely with national priorities under Ayushman Bharat, the National Digital Health Mission, the National Programme for Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases and POSHAN Abhiyaan. It also contributes to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 on good health and well-being.
