Identification of Current Pain Points in the Indian Society

CanConnect has surveyed several sections of the society in the past to identify the vulnerable sections and the pain points they face. The study identified women from the lower income group, drivers, inmates of orphanages, inmates at nursing homes in rural and semi-rural areas as well as domestic help as those sections with minimum or no access to advanced medical screening centres. The results of the study were as follows:

Women from low-income group
Mininum or no access to advanced medical screening tests and unaffordable cost of treatment
Driver Community
High usage of tobacco, high exposure to pollution leading to an increased risk of lung and oral cancer.
Orphanages
Minimum access to advanced medical screening tests and increased risk of genetic birth disorders as well as metabolic disorders.
Nursing homes in rural and semi-rural areas
Minimum or no access to advanced medical screening tests leading to increased risk of genetic birth disorders and metabolic disorders.
Household Servants
Minimum or no access to advanced medical screening tests leading to increased risk of metabolic disorders and cancer.
