Health — The Masters Association

Our Mission

Bringing Healthcare to Every Doorstep

The Masters Association operates a comprehensive mobile healthcare network that bridges the gap between India's rural communities and quality medical services. Our fleets of fully-equipped vans traverse remote villages, tribal belts, and urban slums — places where a government clinic may be hours away and a specialist visit remains a distant dream for most families.

We believe healthcare is a fundamental right, not a privilege. Our multidisciplinary teams — comprising general practitioners, specialists, nurses, ASHA workers, and community health volunteers — work in concert to deliver preventive, curative, and rehabilitative care. From immunisation drives to chronic disease management, from mental health counselling to nutrition support, our integrated model ensures no community is left behind in India's health journey.

Program A

Mobile Health Vans

Our fleet of 24 purpose-built mobile health vans fans out across rural districts every single month, carrying with them a complete primary care unit — general physicians, a visiting specialist, a nurse, a diagnostic technician, and a pharmacist. Each van is equipped with an ECG machine, point-of-care diagnostics, a cold chain for vaccines, and a dispensary stocked with essential medicines. Villages that have never seen a doctor now receive structured monthly visits, chronic patients get follow-ups, and early disease detection has become routine rather than exceptional. The programme operates on a hub-and-spoke model, with district health camps serving as referral nodes for serious cases that need hospital care.

24 fully-equipped vans covering 300+ villages monthly
GP consultations plus visiting specialists (gynaecology, paediatrics, ophthalmology)
Point-of-care diagnostics: blood sugar, haemoglobin, rapid malaria, TB screening
Free medicines dispensed — over 80 essential drugs on formulary
Digital health records with referral tracking to district hospitals

Program B

Maternal & Child Care

Mother and child health outcomes in rural India remain far below what is achievable. Our Maternal and Child Care programme addresses this gap through a continuum-of-care approach that walks with a woman from pre-conception to her child's fifth birthday. We train and support accredited social health activists (ASHA workers), run antenatal clinics in each programme village, ensure institutional delivery through referral transport linkages, and provide newborn care coaching to every new mother. Our interventions have contributed to a measurable decline in maternal mortality and a significant drop in infant deaths in our operational geographies.

Structured antenatal care (ANC) with minimum 4 check-up protocol
Safe delivery support and referral transport to empanelled facilities
Newborn care coaching — kangaroo mother care, exclusive breastfeeding
ASHA coordination — 500+ trained and supervised ASHA workers in network
Full immunisation coverage for children under 5 — zero-dose elimination target

Program C

Nutrition Programs

Malnutrition remains one of India's most persistent public health crises, with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) claiming thousands of young lives each year. Our nutrition programme operates on two fronts — therapeutic treatment for children already malnourished, and preventive nutrition education for households and communities. Working alongside Anganwadi centres and government nutritional schemes, we identify and manage SAM and MAM cases, run supplementary feeding programmes for the most vulnerable, and equip families with the knowledge and skills to grow diverse, nutritious food at home through our kitchen garden training initiative.

SAM and MAM case identification through regular village-level screenings
Community-based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) with RUTF
Supplementary feeding for pregnant and lactating mothers
Kitchen garden training — seasonal vegetables and micronutrient-rich crops
Behaviour change communication on dietary diversity and hygiene practices

Program D

Mental Health Support

Mental health has historically been the most neglected dimension of rural healthcare in India — hidden behind stigma, dismissed by families, and invisible to the health system. The Masters Association is changing this through a ground-up community mental health programme that trains local community counsellors to identify, support, and refer individuals experiencing distress. We run structured awareness sessions in schools, self-help groups, and community spaces to normalise conversations about mental wellbeing. A tele-counselling helpline connects rural beneficiaries with licensed professionals, and our destigmatisation campaigns have shifted community attitudes in measurable ways.

200+ trained community counsellors embedded across programme villages
Awareness sessions in schools, SHGs, and Panchayats on mental wellbeing
Toll-free tele-counselling helpline — available 6 days a week in 5 languages
Destigmatisation campaigns — "Mann Baat Karo" reaching 80,000+ community members
Referral pathway to district psychiatric facilities for complex cases

Voices from the Field

Stories of Change

Every statistic has a face. Here are two of the thousands of lives touched by our healthcare programmes.

Sunita Devi, 28

Barmer, Rajasthan

"When I was pregnant with my second child, the van came to our village and the doctor found I had severe anaemia. They gave me iron supplements and followed up every month. My delivery was safe in a proper hospital — something I never thought possible. My daughter is healthy, and I am healthy too."

Maternal Care Beneficiary

Pintu's Mother, Khunti

Jharkhand

"My son Pintu was just skin and bones when the health van came and screened the children. He was admitted to the nutrition programme — they gave us ready-to-eat food sachets and showed me what foods to cook. In three months, Pintu started playing and smiling again. The teacher said he is now the most active child in the class."
