United Care Development Services

In its pursuit of Health for All (ASHA), the organisation facilitates free healthcare providers to become caring and cutting-edge service providers, aiming to save lives and enhance the quality of life for a vast number of people. It extends support for Telehealth Services, utilizing Health4All, a Free and Open Source Software developed by UC volunteers. These telehealth facilities include helpdesk services for Aakar Aasha Hospital, a reconstructive surgery centre, Raktadaan Helpline for blood donors, a hearing screening centre by Meenakshi Venkataraman Foundation, and a telehealth consultation helpline facilitated by Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations and Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences. With the assistance of over 100 volunteers, it provides Seva from Home to support these helplines and telehealth services.

UC focuses on preventive healthcare by promoting health awareness and education at both personal and community levels, aiming to reduce the burden of diseases and associated costs. It is actively developing Health4All. Today, an interactive and multilingual platform that facilitates health education and encourages positive health choices. This content is utilized not only at health centres but also outside these facilities to reach a wider audience and promote healthier living.

Since 2021, UC has been providing volunteer service support to the Indigenous Development Organisation (IDO), which focuses on enhancing maternal and child healthcare services in approximately 50 tribal hamlets located in the Bhadradri Kothagudem District of Telangana State.

Addressing the universal need for Palliative Care and acknowledging its shortage, UC has been collaborating with the Pain Relief and Palliative Care Society (PRPCS) since June 2017. PRPCS strives to enhance the availability of Palliative Care services within the Public Health system and beyond. Operating a 30-bed capacity hospice for pediatric and adult patients in Hyderabad, PRPCS also provides support to around 500 patients through its home care program. In 2022, UC partnered with PRPCS to establish the Sri Sathya Sai Palliative Care Center in Puttaparthi, with the backing of the Alumni of Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning.
