Communications Director and Trustee @Heart Care Foundation Of India

New Delhi, IN

My role as a Trustee and Communications Director at leading National NGO, the Heart Care Foundation of India involves strategizing and executing three primary projects: 1. Sameer Malik Heart Care Foundation Fund (SMHCFF): Instituted in February 2014, the SMHCFF is based on the basic principle that no person deserves to die of heart disease just because they cannot afford treatment. Towards this endeavour, technical and financial assistance is provided to heart patients belonging to economically weaker sections of the society, in need of cardiac interventions. An expert committee comprising of notable individuals chosen on merit basis assess all the applications received by the NGO. Once shortlisted, the funds are then directly deposited in the bank account of the medical establishments treating the patient. Since its inception, over 400 needy and poor patients have been treated and cured under this project. The Perfect Health Mela - Started in 1993, the Perfect Health Mela is a mass health awareness module, which attracts over 2-3 lakh visitors every year. Its main aim remains to create mass awareness about all aspects of health; using a consumer-driven model as the medium. It caters to people from all age groups and all walks of life showcasing activities across categories such as health education seminars and check-ups, entertainment programs, lifestyle exhibitions, lectures, workshops and competitions. The Mela is attended by over 200 organisations each year including those from the State and Central government, PSUs, leading corporates amongst others. CPR 10: HCFI regularly conducts programs and training camps on the lifesaving and easy to learn, technique of hands-only CPR for revival after a sudden cardiac arrest. They currently hold three Limca book of world records for the maximum number of people trained in hands-only CPR in one go and have trained over 2 lakh people in the past three years.
