Aarun Wellness - BASTA Foundation

About Aarug Wellness

Aarug Wellness, a flagship program of BASTA Foundation, was launched in 2018 to address the critical healthcare needs of marginalized women across India. We believe health is the foundation of empowerment.

Our name "Aarug" combines "Aarogya" (health) and "Rug" (care), representing our commitment to complete wellbeing. We've served over 25,000 women through our mobile clinics and community health centers.

Our approach combines modern medicine with traditional wellness practices, creating sustainable health solutions tailored to each community we serve.

"Aarug Wellness saved my life. The free cancer screening detected my breast cancer early, and their support helped me through treatment. Today I'm cancer-free and volunteering to help other women."
