MEDVANCE RESEARCH PRIVATE LIMITED

In their own words

Despite remarkable world-wide progress in the field of diagnostics and curative and preventive health, still there are people living in isolation in natural and unpolluted surroundings far away from civilization with their traditional values, customs, beliefs and myth intact. They are commonly known as "tribals", it is fascinating that tribals in India constitute 104.28 million, as per 2011 census which is about 8.61% of the total population of India. The tribes in India have distinct health problems, mainly governed by multidimensional factors such as habitat, difficult terrains, varied ecological niches, illiteracy, poverty, isolation, superstitions and deforestation. The tribal people in India have their own life styles, food habits, beliefs, traditions and socio-cultural activities. Health and nutritional problems of the vast tribal populations are varied because of bewildering diversity in their socio-economic, cultural and ecological settings. The β thalassemias and sickle cell disorders pose a significant health burden in tribal India. The average prevalence of β thalassemia carriers is 3 to 4% which translates to 3.1 to 4.0 million tribal carriers in our multi-ethnic and culturally and linguistically diverse population. We as a company would like to work on blood disorders mainly in the tribal community. Through research and application of modern medical technologies we hope to be able to solve their healthcare problems
