About Gaudium Foundation
Through our grassroot interventions, we have made health awareness as well as medical facilities accessible to the underprivileged children and women living in slums, minority communities and other remote areas. Our belief is that no mother should die while giving birth, and this is the reason why we consider maternal health as the mainstay of our mission. At the same time, we promote special immunisation camps and programmes so that a disease free future is insured for our children.
Our mission is “to build” a stronger nation by fulfilling the holistic health needs of children and women”
Today the world has realized that importance of children and women health as the key parameter of development and the need of focusing on these areas is even more acute for developing countries like India. We believe that women are the driving force of a nation and our foundation works to be the positive catalyst in making this force even more powerful. Educated and informed… Continue.
This is another step towards achieving our Vision that is “To create a better world where women achieve the best possible Health, Equality and Empowerment”

Workshop at GMR CSR
Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan
Under the programme, Obstetricians/ physicians from the private sector would be encouraged to provide voluntary services at designated public health facilities. The Hon’ble Prime Minister has appealed to private sector obstetricians / physicians to volunteer their services and dedicate 12 days in a year to the health of pregnant women.
A National Portal for PMSMA has been developed In order to facilitate registration of private sector doctors willing to provide voluntary services under the Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan programme on the 9th of every month. The Portal provides a platform for online registration of volunteers and recording the contribution of volunteers. Volunteers can also share their feedback/ grievances through the same. Additionally, a virtual ‘Hall of Fame’ would be created on the portal for recognition of the contribution of doctors who have consistently provided services under the programme.
One of the special focus of the agency would be to create visibility on the ‘IPledgeFor9’ Achievers Awards which celebrates individual and team achievements and their outstanding contributions under the Pradhan Mantri Matritva Surakshit Abhiyan (PMSMA) across India, at various levels- facility, district, state and national levels between January to April 2017.
The Abhiyan envisages improvement in the quality and coverage of Antenatal Care (ANC), and aims to create a social movement around pregnancy and child birth, with the involvement of private providers at scale in service provision. While the public sector involvement is binding, the contribution of the private sector is ‘voluntary’. Currently there are no cash incentives built in or ‘Awards and recognition’ of performance for public sector performance or private sector time, which is critical for achieving the objectives and sustainability of the PMSMA.
The ‘IPledgeFor9’ Achievers Awards has a two-fold objective:
– Identify and recognize excellence in team performance in PMSMA at various levels.
– Identify and recognize private sector excellence in individual engagement and results in PMSMA at various levels.
Three broad categories of awards are proposed:
- IPledgeFor9 Team Achievement Awards
- IPledgeFor9 Individual Achievement Awards
- Special Awards
