New Delhi (18.03.2022): PFC has signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) to provide financial assistance for upgrading Community Health Center (CHC) Gulaothi in Bulandshahr District, Uttar Pradesh. The MoA was signed through Rogi Kalyan Samiti (RKS), Gulaothi.

As per the MoA, PFC will provide financial assistance for the up-gradation of medical facilities including ICU and general beds.  The project will be implemented in a time period of 3 months and will help in providing improved healthcare services in and around Gulaothi, Bulandshahr. The objective behind extending financial assistance is to strengthen the quality and delivery of healthcare services among the local communities which is important to ensure accessibility, affordability, and availability of healthcare services to the urban poor communities.  PFC aims to improve health outcomes among rural/urban populations with a focus on overall healthcare.

Located on NH-334, the CHC Gulaothi is the first point of treatment for most of the accident cases and also acts as the first point of referral within a radius of 25 kms of Bulandshahr.  The up-gradation will help in bridging the gap arising due to lack of medical equipment and resources which sometimes has led to the unfortunate death of critical cases.
