The Foundation's dedication extends to raising awareness and fostering accountability within the healthcare system. Through their innovative efforts, DigiSwasthya is making a tangible impact on communities, creating a healthier and more empowered India. Their mission serves as a beacon of change, inspiring equitable healthcare for all.

Director's Note
As a socially conscious individual, I've often questioned the absence of dedicated rural healthcare initiatives, especially when urban healthcare solutions flourished in response to Covid-19.
During my participation in the transformative Jagriti Yatra, I encountered Digiswasthya Foundation and its visionary founders, Sandeep Kumar & Pallabi Roy. Their innovative approach to addressing rural healthcare disparities fascinated me, compelling me to create a film that connects their mission with a wider community of medical professionals and patients.
